Voces Ciudadanas (Citizen Voices) is the main project of the Urban Journalism Graduate Studies (1996) through its Urban Communication Research Group. Voces Ciudadanas has the objective to promote an open and diverse public dialogue about public affairs in which common people are at the center of the process by participating in public deliberation. The media associated to Voces Ciudadanas in Colombia (newspapers, TV news and radio news) promote civic participation through questions to citizens and “conversaciones ciudadanas” (citizen forums) in wich they build what is called citizenship agenda. Voces Ciudadanas has been teaching seminars and promoted public journalism in several Latin American countries such us Panamá, Bolivia, Perú, Mexico, Brazil, and Ecuador. Voces Ciudadanas has published two books: “Voces Ciudadanas por la Seguridad y la Convivencia” (Citizen Voices for Safety and Living Together) and “Voces Ciudadanas Una idea de Periodismo Público” (Citizen Voices – An idea for public journalism), and several articles in political and social sciences reviews.
