About Us
PLAY – Podcast Launched At Youth
PLAY – Podcast Launched At YOUth is a Cooperation for innovation focused on the improvement of the establishments of podcasts for Youth, developed in the frame of European Programme Erasmus+
The project idea of PLAY arises from the international consortium which had several experiences with organising, managing and implementing international projects, from youth exchanges to training courses and from strategic partnership projects for innovation and good practices to local events and workshops.
Thus, we feel the need to have this KA2 Innovation because with Erasmus+ the number of organisations joining the Programme is increased, but we identify problems many times with dissemination and how to reach to young people all around Europe, thus after discussions between consortium , we agreed a podcast would be a good solution for this need.
Our Goal and Vision
1
Provide youth workers with know-how for podcast planning and developing initiatives with youngsters and improving their dissemination and communication competencies.
2
Increase the understanding of youth exchanges project life cycle such as: needs analysis, objectives and activities, cooperation with partners, intercultural learning, learning assessment, results, impact, project evaluation and dissemination.
3
Provide introduction to the Erasmus+: Youth in Action Programme, focusing on main features and priorities.
4
Critically reflect upon their previous international experience(s) – good and bad practices- as participants, coordinators or as partners.
5
Support participants in putting in practice the learnings gained, sharing information and improve NGOs communication and dissemination processes (through planning project ideas in partnership during one project session).
6
Experience a non-formal learning process and understand how to support young people’s learning process in the project.
7
Facilitate the creation of partnership for further projects among the organizations (through the positive exchange among experienced and newcomers organizations).
8
Strengthen participants and organizations competences and capability in youth work and international dimension and cooperation.
9
Enhancing Non Formal Education methods and recognition of NFE learnings (Podcast Production).
Our Idea
Our idea is to implement an innovative project that is meant for youth workers to improve their digital and project design skills through an innovative way – podcasts’ production. Currently 97% of EU young people aged 16-24 years old and 96% of young people aged 25-34 years old access the internet at least once a week, with 80% of internet users doing it to access music, videos and games. Given this ease of access and use of the internet, podcasts emerge in this project as a tool, accessible to implement and create, to provide quality information about the Erasmus+ programme in the youth sector and on project planning and management.
The podcast is an alternative form of personalized and mobile training as it can be heard on any device with internet access and at any time.
