Created by a group of men and women committed to participatory and
grassroots communications, La Azotea's main objective can be summarised as
'the management, production and dissemination of actions and activities
linked to participatory communication'. La Azotea understands communication
as a valid tool to improve the lives of people and one which has the power
to transform social reality. La Azotea's two main areas of intervention are
training and community radio. The project 'Inside the Neighbourhood:
network of correspondents' will provide training for a network of
correspondents in order to make visible and to share with the citizens of
Mar del Plata the situation of men and women living in peripheral and poor
neighbourhoods of that city. These are sectors of the population that never
appear in the mainstream media which controls the information that
circulates in society.
La Azotea will train women and men to become community correspondents in
order to expand and enlarge the existing network and to include in this way
more neighbourhoods. The news and programmes prepared by the team of
correspondents will be broadcast through FM de La Azotea, the group's own
community station, and two other local stations (Radio Universidad and FM
Residencias). The project also includes the purchase of equipment which
will improve the quality of the output of radio station FM de La Azotea
allowing for broadcast through the satellite news services of FARCO - the
Argentinean Forum of Community Radio Stations which reaches some seventy
stations in Argentina and through the ALER satellite to a number of
stations outside Argentina.
