2218 Community-based audiovisual production. CLACPI (founded in 1985) has been promoting Indigenous audiovisual communication in Latin America for almost 40 years. In Peru, the Chaski Group has developed networks of community micro-cinemas as tools for empowerment. The FAO documented Peruvian experiences on video for peasant training. Social research and community censuses. Sánchez-Velázquez et al. (2021) documented participatory socio-environmental diagnoses in Mexico. The experience of community censuses in Caracas, Venezuela (Latin American Population Journal) validates their viability as a community management tool. Nuestros Saberes Fills This Gap. Although these experiences are valuable, they operate in a fragmented way and are rarely articulated as an integrated system that connects community information production with territorial development management, ESG reporting, and the prevention of socioenvironmental conflicts. Nuestros Saberes fills this gap, proposing a sequential circuit that integrates all components under a logic of intergenerational capacity building. 4. CONCEPTUAL AND NORMATIVE FRAMEWORK 4.1 Arnstein's participation ladder and the IAP2 spectrum A fundamental theoretical framework for positioning the Nuestros Saberes program is the ladder of citizen participation proposed by Sherry Arnstein (1969). In her seminal article, "A Ladder of Citizen Participation," Arnstein distinguishes eight rungs organized into three levels: non-participation (manipulation and therapy), symbolic participation (information, consultation, and appeasement), and citizen power (association, delegated power, and citizen control). Her central argument is that participation without a redistribution of power is an empty and frustrating process for those without power, as it allows the powerful to claim that all parties were considered without anything actually changing. The International Public Participation Association's (IAP2, 2018) spectrum of public participation updates and operationalizes this idea into five progressive levels: informing, consulting, engaging, collaborating, and empowering. Each level implies an increasing commitment to the public and, most importantly, an explicit promise regarding the degree of influence the community will have on the final decision. Table 2.
