It is the base from where the lines of research, projects and programs of CITSAC start. It emanates from the mandates of Indigenous Peoples and communities, which are agreements originate from meetings, summits, assemblies or other organization mechanisms. For example, the Declaration of the First Summit of Indigenous Communication, the First National Congress of Indigenous Communication, the San Andrés Accords, etcetera.

These are projects executed by the communities or organizations in order to carry out the established mandates. For example, itinerant indigenous communication schools, community radios, community mobile telephony, community networks, etcetera.

These are community spaces that focus on knowledge management and transmission, training, research and systematization of their own experiences or products like publications, made by themselves or in alliance with other organizations. An important feature of this circle is that the knowledge center or training projects have the support of their assemblies and are integrated into the community’s organizational structure or governance mechanisms. However, the degree of appropriation and participation of the people in these spaces can vary, implying a greater or lesser participation of allied external organizations.

These are spaces for knowledge production formally recognized as universities, research institutes, as well as networks or research groups around them.

These are the actors of institutions that work in strategic lines or whose aim is to advocate in order to generate appropriate regulatory environments and relevant public policies, given that their actions can slow down or facilitate the execution of telecommunication or communication projects in the communities.
