This degree work focuses on the research and creation of a radio series that highlights the relevance of mental health in Colombia in university students. This production is called “Invisible Scars”. The main purpose of the research is to make visible the importance of mental health and, together with this, to be able to inform people in the most remote places of the country about depression. Pamplona, Norte de Santander is known in Colombia as the mitered city or city of fog, due to its climatic conditions. Among the recognitions it has at the national level is that of a student city, this thanks to the fact that by the year 2024 the University of Pamplona celebrates 64 years in the municipality granting professional degrees to young people from all regions of the nation.
