El oratorio salesiano virtual: una mirada desde la narrativa transmedia

Abstract

With the emergence of the Covid-19 Pandemic, the world has been in social isolation and Ecuador has not been an exception. In these circumstances, digital tools have been promoted to help training and educating people in virtual presence. Social Networks, as Facebook and Instagram, play a fundamental role in the spreading of information and content that young people use to communicate. In the Salesian charism, oratories are formative avenues where young people find a home, a parish, a courtyard and a school to interact and grow both spiritually and personally. The transmedia narrative has an important role to play in the creation of participatory communities where collective intelligence helps to expand stories, considering the prosumer as the subject of new stories. The following research aims at observing whether the characteristics of the transmedia narrative are present in the communication of Salesian oratories in Ecuador.
