This project supports the digital outreach campaign of Nueva Ilustración, an initiative by the Secular Humanist Society of Peru aimed at engaging young, Spanish-speaking audiences.

The content will be freely distributed across social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook to address modern social and technological challenges.

Problem/Issue:

Spanish-speaking humanist groups face a digital gap in countering widespread online pseudoscience, while religious organizations in Peru actively target youth amid rising political polarization.

No. of Beneficiaries: 80,000

Impact:

The campaign will reach over 80,000 social media views, gain 1,000 new followers, recruit 20 new members, and build a lasting digital platform for scientific humanist education in Spanish.
