“Rebirth: Heroism in the Face of Natural Disasters” is a collaborative transmedia project created by students from the Faculty of Communication at the University of Piura (Peru) and the Faculty of Communication at the University of the Andes (Chile). The project told 24 stories from Peru and Chile through various media and platforms, utilizing the resources of the digital environment. The stories highlighted the universality of human values, such as unity and solidarity, that emerge in a community after a catastrophe.
