Programa de educación digital en prevención de vulneración de derechos en el consejo cantonal para la protección de derechos. Riobamba. Abril – agosto 2024

Abstract

This research addressed the issue of how to prevent violation of rights through a Digital Educational Program, focusing on its contribution to adolescents. The initiative was developed in collaboration with the Consejo Cantonal para la Protección de Derechos (CCPD) of Riobamba, recognizing how the digital era exacerbates inequalities in access to information and essential preventive tools. The main objective was to implement a Digital Educational Program to prevent Rights Violations among Adolescents at the Consejo Cantonal para la Protección de Derechos in Riobamba from April to August 2024. The program aimed to empower adolescents in risk situations using information and communication technologies (ICTs). The methodology employed a field research design and surveys directed toward various stakeholders within the CCPD and the Junta Cantonal de Protección de Derechos. Based on the survey report, the digital program included tools such as Adobe XD, Illustrator, and Photoshop to facilitate its development. The program link was disseminated via social media and strategic locations across the city through QR codes to ensure accessibility. The results demonstrated the program's high acceptance and effectiveness in enhancing knowledge and awareness about preventing rights violations. A significant increase in adolescent participation and interest in topics related to their rights was observed. In conclusion, the digital educational program was invaluable for leveraging communication technologies to protect adolescents' rights and promote social inclusion and personal growth. It was found to be feasible and well-received by the adolescent population, with positive and affirmative responses. Implementing such programs can be replicated in contexts with vulnerable populations, contributing to more significant equity and access to information.
