Contributions to the research and the capacity building creation of actors: communication as service tool for territorial development Organised by CERSS-ISIC
This side event concluded that communication, as instrument in territorial development, should be seen as the sharing of knowledge and a way to carry forward a social project. It is essential to move away from dialogue communication towards a more global communication that produces change. The communication conditions should be temporality and ideological for actors, but without substituting them, and transversal, equal and inclusive.
