Abstract

This is a proposal to combat disinformation about the coronavirus aimed at the Kokama people through the use of clear communication. Concretely, the project aims to produce material for the dissemination of information of public utility, written in simple language (with the support of illustrations and other graphic elements), of easy access, that conveys reliable and clear information about the coronavirus, means of transmission , ways to avoid contagion, among others. The material is intended to circulate via WhatsApp, in order to make the information reach people immediately. The objective is that the material is easily reproducible and adaptable to other realities and that it can serve as a model for other initiatives of this type. The material will be bilingual Kokama / Portuguese with respect to the life and strengthening of the culture of these people.
