Abstract

This essay is based on the need to reflect on contemporary theoretical and practical aspects in the training of communicators from the particular Ecuadorian context, with emphasis on Latin American debates and also with a global perspective. The proposal is outlined around the main challenges in the learning that communication students should have for the exercise of the profession. This work was outlined by a group of professors of the Communication career of the Salesian Polytechnic University at the time of outlining the curricular redesign project of the professional career, which also had to respond to the requirements of the supervisory bodies of higher education in the country. The authors met throughout 2015, in long working sessions in which they collaboratively drafted an initial document that was later enriched with contributions from other colleagues. The main objective of the proposal is to lay the necessary foundations for the training of communicators with a critical view, capable of contributing to the solution of problems through the generation of participatory processes and with the necessary expertise and skills to design, implement and evaluate communication projects and products, with inclusive and intercultural contents and narratives developed in conventional and hypermedia environments, in a horizon of permanent dialogue for social transformation and emancipation, with democracy, justice, equity and solidarity.
