Radio and podcasting offer unique opportunities for young people to engage with media, express their ideas, and develop critical thinking skills. Building on successful initiatives, this session will explore how media literacy can be integrated with media production to empower students and communities.
Participants learned how creating and producing radio shows or podcasts can help young people critically analyse media content, understand responsible communication, and develop both creative and technical skills. The webinar featured practitioner case studies, examples of ongoing initiatives, and practical guidelines for implementing radio and podcast projects in educational and community settings. Attendees gained actionable tools, tips, and inspiration to strengthen their own media literacy programmes.
Target group: Media literacy educators, teachers, librarians, youth workers, civil society actors, researchers, media professionals, communication experts, policymakers, and all stakeholders interested in empowering young people through media production and literacy initiatives.
