About Laintersección
Laintersección is a collective of communicators, researchers, connectors, catalysts, activists, and artists. Laintersección is also a learning community in which we share what we discover and produce about narrative change, digital research, communication strategies, collective campaigns, and training.

What do we do?
Our work focused on practical applications. We perform digital analysis, test messages, and look for emerging narratives to support. We design evidence-based digital strategies that are responsive to the context of the communities with which we collaborate. We identify and connect diverse people with whom we develop collective campaigns that allow us to leave our bubbles and reach wide audiences. And we share all this knowledge through training actions (workshops, guides, content like what you find in this webpage, and other formats). We love to experiment because we are addicted to challenges, internet geeks, and a little fearless.
Why an intersection?
An intersection is a meeting point. At an intersection, the elements in common to various groups come together. We are committed to the fight for climate and social justice, gender equality, and LGTBIQ+ diversity; we share the desire to curb hate and toxic content online and move toward a freer internet. We know that these communities share values, and our goal is to explore and activate them to push forward together.
We are convinced that power lies in hybrid processes. For that reason, we build diverse alliances.
