How AlmaMundi works

You decide what to tell and how to tell it. Choose text, audio, video, or photography. When you send your story, you can download a ribbon image created from it.

A question can remind you of something you want to tell. AlmaMundi’s twelve ribbons gather questions about different life experiences.

In the AlmaMundi universe, the menu lets you choose what to explore. The points connect places with stories, questions, and answers.

Every published story, in one place. Search by words, use the filters, and open a story to read, listen to, or watch it.

Go straight to the catalog and explore the stories at your own pace.

Every day we see stories selected and ordered to grab our attention. But there are many other experiences we would probably never come across.

AlmaMundi proposes discovering them another way.

Here, stories do not compete for popularity. You can linger on a memory, listen to someone from another place, or discover an experience very different from your own.

It does not matter how many people have seen a story. What matters is what that person has to tell.

As the collection grows, we want to create digital thematic exhibitions that reveal connections between stories and show different experiences around a shared theme.

Each exhibition will have its own proposal, which we will define when the time comes.

Precisar will be in charge of preserving the collection and its exhibitions, even if AlmaMundi stops operating as a platform, respecting the rights of those who take part.

• You can tell your story if you're 18 or older. If someone else appears in it, you need their permission. If they're a minor, the submission must come from a responsible adult or an institution, with authorization.
• We don't publish insults, discrimination, threats, violence, abuse, content that exposes others without their permission, or material copied from someone else.
• We may ask for changes, decline to publish a story, or remove it if it puts someone at risk.
• We only ask for what we need to review your submission. To correct or remove what you shared, use My personal data or write to hola@almamundi.org.

AlmaMundi is a nonprofit initiative of Fundación Democracia Abierta, developed by Precisar.

Fundación Democracia Abierta is an organization based in Santiago, Chile, that works on digital culture and media literacy.

At Precisar we work so that people understand information better, develop their own judgment, and take part with greater autonomy.

But a project like this is not built by an organization alone. It is also made possible by those who share their experiences, ask questions, and let us know their stories.

That is the idea behind AlmaMundi: that people themselves tell what they have lived, and that others can come to know it.

Stories, questions, and answers are reviewed before they are published. Participants keep their rights over the content they share and can request its removal under the project’s conditions.
