The objective of the "PodCast_Inc" was to empower youths from a migrant background and local youths to become content creators and provide them with additional platforms, such as radio, podcast platforms (SoundCloud, MixCloud, Spotify, Audacity etc.), and social media, through which they could make their voices heard. The manual aimed to offer training through piloting activities during the project's duration, targeting a minimum of 30 youths in three countries: France, Italy, and Malta. The focus was on developing critical thinking, publicity, publishing, communication, and soft skills to enhance social inclusion within host communities. Specifically, the objectives were creating a training course in four languages, Arabic, French, Italian and English that could be available to as many youth as possible, reducing the language barrier. Another point was promoting their media skills, competencies, and employability, giving them the possibility to contemplate a profession in the field of journalism or Social media manager.
The Podcast_Inc project proposal aimed to empower local youth and migrant communities by giving them a genuine and unbiased platform on the online community radio. We wanted to equip them with new skills and knowledge about media literacy, specifically podcasts, to recognize and tackle crucial issues related to human rights, while amplifying their voices and highlighting their struggles. Our project had a strong emphasis on prioritizing and enhancing the inclusion and employability of both migrant youths and local youth. Our objective was to create additional opportunities for their growth, development, future access to EU funding opportunities, possibly paths to new careers as content creators.. We recognized the significance of new media and modern communication methods like podcasts in the daily lives of young people. By integrating the 30 Articles of the UN Declaration of Human Rights as the basis for the Podcast creation, we provided to participants and to the indirect beneficiaries a fresh view of the role of the United Nations in the world.
