Agency

English to Spanish Social Sciences Telecom(munications) Teaching
1) Information and communication competences and literacies (agency).

2) In this chapter we present a framework for analysing how the
communication practices of adult education organisations can be
improved to reach out to young adults at risk of social exclusion. We
explain our concepts of communicative ecologies and assemblages,
as well as the five components of the framework: goals, social,
information, media and agency. We then illustrate the application of
the communicative ecologies analytical framework as applied in the
case of a vocational educational training programme in Romania,
and compare this to the communicative situation of young adults in a
very poor and largely Roma neighbourhood in Bucharest.

Low confidence rating on this because I'm not sure the five components of the framework are clear to me ("social" on its own?) and I have no idea what the further context you've provided in the discussion means or how it is meant to help.

That said, I think "agency" is being used here to mean "capacity to act", which is one definition you should be able to find in any dictionary.

Intervención

Coincido con Joshua Parker, ¨intervención¨ me parece más específica, ¨acción/acciones¨ son más generales.
