Abstract

NGOs are actively using social networks, specifically Instagram, to disseminate audiovisual content, with a strong emotional reaction, and to achieve effective and participatory communication that contributes to greater awareness and social mobilization. A recurring focus of interest in their campaigns is the situation of migrant minors, a vulnerable group that is frequently omitted and dehumanized. The aim of this work is to identify and highlight good practices from Spanish NGOs, a sensitive border territory and main gateway to Europe, so that they can be replicated in other geographical contexts to promote social change.
