La Cosecha Comunicación is a multidisciplinary team of professionals with extensive experience in the communication sector and in cooperative work. La Cosecha understands communication as a participatory tool for social transformation, which is fundamental as a way to keep our communities alive and empowered. The project was born out of the need to go beyond the traditional concepts of corporate communication, to bring a more sensitive and conscious vision to the transmission of social messages.
For La Cosecha, communication is an essential and structural part of cooperation and a key element in social and personal empowerment. That is why the team works hand in hand with social and cultural projects to make them visible, get their messages across and generate a community fabric through dialogic communication and proactive action.
It seeks to build new codes, new narratives and new ways of relating to other citizens.
