Social Communication faces a significant challenge in developing countries: the need to adapt messages and communication channels to local specificities and cultures.  In this sense, many initiatives are designed and implemented from a Western perspective, without taking into account the cultural and linguistic differences that exist in the recipient countries. This can lead to inappropriate messages or a lack of understanding by the local population, which in turn is likely to undermine the effectiveness of projects.

It is all the more necessary to have a qualification that meets the current requirements of specialization in Social Communication in view of the diversification and revaluation of Communication. Therefore, this program is the opportunity that Humanities professionals were looking for to specialize in this area, with which they will work as social communicators facilitating the operation of primary organizations, government agencies or NGOs.

This will be achieved by starting from the basics of International Development Cooperation, examining the sociological theories on the subject or the work to consolidate a democracy. Then, students will explore the implications of communication in this cooperation, analyzing the role of social movements or the tensions between professional and activist journalism.
