Al giorno d’oggi la Colombia si trova ad affrontare un fenomeno ricorrente che si verifica tra i giovani di età compresa tra 14 e 28 anni. Si tratta della mancanza di partecipazione, nei casi democratici creati dal governo, per la realizzazione di una migliore comprensione e accettabilità di politiche, progetti e leggi. Anche se i giovani sono altamente qualificati per interagire con la nuova generazione di canali di comunicazione, non stanno approfittando della capacità di entrare in contatto con le politiche governative. Durante lo sviluppo di questo lavoro è stata effettuata un’indagine sui programmi di politiche pubbliche, al fine di capire quali guasti e inconvenienti stavano causando la mancanza di partecipazione dei cittadini al fenomeno. Le strategie di comunicazione e trasmissione della conoscenza risultano essere la radice di questo problema, quindi, la proposizione di questo lavoro è la creazione di un laboratorio di sperimentazione diretta e gestita da una università, che sarà incentrato sull’inclusione dei giovani e, pertanto, verrò riservato agli studenti il più alto livello di coinvolgimento. I punti di contatto principali prodotti da questo laboratorio sperimentale saranno: la promozione di workshop per coinvolgere la comunità, gli eventi per approvare i programmi e le politiche avviate dal governo, i rapporti in campi specifici per scambiare e generare conoscenza e, infine, un giornale focalizzato sulla fornitura di informazioni in modo semplice, necessario affinchè i giovani capiscano quelle politiche pubbliche specificamente connesse con la spesa dei fondi pubblici. Perché la spesa di fondi pubblici? La Colombia è un paese con un problema di corruzione considerevole e i giovani hanno mostrato il loro interesse per questo tema attraverso i social media. “Colombia PARTECIPA” sta prendendo in considerazione il loro entusiasmo come punto di partenza per entrare in contatto con loro e contribuire a raggiungere un rapporto di partecipazione più alto tra i ragazzi.

Communication strategies and transmission of knowledge turns out to be the root of this issue, therefore the proposition of this work is the creation of an experimental lab managed and operated by a university which will be focused on the inclusion of youngsters and therefore students will have the higher level of involvement. The key touchpoints produced by this experimental lab will be the promotion of workshops to involve the community, events to endorse programs and policies launched by government, reports in specific fields to exchange and generate knowledge and finally a newspaper focused in the provision of information as simple as needed that youngsters come to understand those public policies specifically related with the expenditure of publics funds. Why the public funds expenditure? Colombia is a country with a sizeable problem of corruption and youngsters have shown their interest in this topic trough social media.
