Urban Storytellers’ CONVITE

CONVITE is the celebration of collective actions that result from solidarity and empathy networks among urban dwellers. In Medellín, CONVITE has been a social, cultural and technological tool to build urban infrastructure at the neighbourhood level with a city scale impact. During a CONVITE, learning and knowledge exchange is essential to achieve common goals. In a CONVITE everyone has knowledge and expertise that can be shared and transferred through storytelling and collective practice, something like “doing while telling”. Medellín is a city transformed significantly by URBAN CONVITES.
