mobilisation

"La Masividad es el propósito de activar y movilizar a las personas y colectivos en la participación directa o indirecta pero de modo concreto en la búsqueda de soluciones en cada lugar, permitiendo identificar el aporte dado en el campo de la integración y cooperación."

Two dictionary definitions of 'masivo', which I think this is derived from:

1 Que agrupa a un gran número de individuos - Diccionario Clave

2. adj. Perteneciente o relativo a las masas humanas, o hecho por ellas. Emigración masiva. Ataque masivo. Manifestación masiva. - DRAE
