A HISTORY OF PATHS THAT LEAVE THEIR MARK

Question

Accepted Answer

It all began in July 2009, when a group of communication students, shaped by their own experiences with human mobility, decided to turn their experiences into action. Thus was born “Caminos que Dejan Huellas” (Paths That Leave Traces), a pioneering radio magazine in which these young professionals turned their stories of migration and displacement into powerful radio narratives. Radio Católica Cuenca was the first to believe in this project, opening its microphones to these voices that understood, from the very depths of their being, the complexity of the phenomenon of migration and the importance of humanizing each story.The power of their messages soon transcended borders. After a year of broadcasts, CORAPE recognized the value of these stories and expanded “Caminos que Dejan Huellas” across its 32 community radio stations, multiplying the reach of these voices committed to upholding the dignity of migrants. The network continued to grow when La Voz de Zamora, Radio CENEPA, and Radio FÉNIX de Alausí joined this shared mission, bringing these testimonies and analyses to the most remote corners of the country, where so many families experienced firsthand the complexity of human mobility.Sixteen years later, “Caminos que Dejan Huellas” continues to resonate through La Voz de Ingapirca, Radio Silveria Stereo, Sistema Radial del Sur, and the extensive CORAPE network, while also reinventing itself as a podcast to reach global audiences. What began as a student initiative has established itself as a leading voice in migration journalism—a space where each personal story sheds light on the structural causes of human mobility. Its creators and new generations of journalists remain true to its original vision: to craft narratives that portray migration not as a problem but as an opportunity for the holistic development of humanity, breaking down walls and building bridges of understanding between cultures and communities.
