A comunicação comunitária e a promoção da cidadania na Comunidade de Suruacá - PA

Abstract

The community communication is now identified as a strategy for the development and the pursuit of social transformation, creating active subjects in the conquest of their rights as citizens. Given this possibility, this study aims to analyze the process of community communication established between the Suruacá community and Rede Mocoronga from Saúde e Alegria non-profit organization, both located in the state of Pará, and their contribution to the promotion of citizenship of the riverine population. The study featured a theoretical support of the authors Fábio Castro (2012), Cicilia Peruzzo (2007) and Margarida Kunsch (2007) that present community communication as a factor crucial to connecting communities with each other and with the world, and contribute to expansion of the rights and duties of citizenship, the right of every human being. For the development of this research methodology we used as the case study, using the techniques of interview and participant observation as well as records of informal conversations. The result reveals the contribution of community communication for development and the extension of citizenship of riverine population, as well as helps to understand the communication environment that configures the relationships established between the Rede Mocoronga and Suruacá community.
