Podcast your Europe!

This project is an initiative of Association Odyssée and tooBordo, two organisations based in Bordeaux, France.

Odyssée and tooBordo want to start a European scaled project involving another country and allowing youngsters (16-20 years old) to practice radio journalism in an intercultural perspective to develop personal, soft and technical skills. An “umbrella topic” will be defined together among partners.

This project aims at encouraging the acquisition of the youngsters’ skills and personal development:
● The notion of "living well together" which is characterized by team spirit, respect for others to encourage dialogue, openness to the world and the discovery of different cultures.
● The ability to organize and manage tasks over a period of time.
● Analytical skills and critical mind to understand, compare and validate information before distribution.
● Written and oral expression to be understood by interlocutors (team, guest) and listeners.
● Technical skills related to the radio equipment and materials.
● Intercultural and language skills with the implementation of transnational learning activities and teams.

The partners foresee a two-year project with the following activities:
● 1 short-term joint staff training event (for youth workers) in France. It aims at providing the youth workers of the partner organisations with basic skills on radio for educative purposes (historical and technical perspectives with experimentations).
● 1 blended-mobility of young people (16-20 years old) in France. This activity will allow the participants to join a learning programme
during which they will prepare together a radio show.
● 1 blended-mobility of young people (16-20 years old) in the second country. During this activity, the participants will also join a learning programme and prepare together a radio show.

Three intellectual outputs are expected:
● IO1 : a training guide dedicated to youth workers willing to know more about how to implement radio within youth work. This guide will also be a supporting tool during the joint staff training event.
● IO2 : short radio podcasts realised all along the project duration (at local level by each national group of young people, during transnational events…)
● IO3 : two radio shows recorded during a public and live show at the end of each blended-mobility of young people.
