We Radio 2.0

Dostať sa do Modice bolo celkom náročné, keďže sme všetci prvýkrát cestovali do cudziny na vlastnú päsť. Keďže sme však štyria, bolo oveľa jednoduchšie ísť/obísť letisko alebo chytiť autobus z Catanie do Modice. Počas zdĺhavej cesty autobusom sme obdivovali fascinujúce výhľady na sicílsku krajinu a malebné mestečká. Aj keď cesta trvala hodiny, zdalo sa mi to ako minúty. Po príchode nás všetkých milo prekvapilo ubytovanie a pohostinnosť organizátorov. Akékoľvek negatívne emócie, s ktorými sme sa stretli po dlhom lete a ďalšie komplikácie, boli okamžite preč.

Počas prvých dní sme sa zoznamovali s každým, s kým sme na projekte spolupracovali. Stretnutie s ľuďmi z iných kultúr prinieslo mnohé kultúrne šoky, napríklad čas talianskej „siesty“. Skúšať novú kuchyňu, učiť sa nové slová v iných jazykoch alebo len oceniť prítomnosť miestnej architektúry – to je len malá ukážka toho, čo sa tu dalo robiť a obdivovať. Okrem toho sme sa dozvedeli viac o projektoch Erasmus ako celku a aké vedomosti získame po absolvovaní kurzu.

Trochu vystrašení sme ponorili nohy do vôd webového rádia. Naučili sme sa používať vybavenie, softvérovú aj hardvérovú časť. Po niekoľkých pokusoch sme nakoniec všetko zvládli sami. Po úspešnom prvom uvedení naživo prišiel hlavný bod projektu – vlastne vysielanie. Bola to nová výzva, pretože sme museli hovoriť v inom jazyku, ako je náš, ale nakoniec sme si všetci užili náš pobyt a môžeme súhlasiť s tým, že čas bol dobre strávený.

Organizator of the project: Associazione Attiva-Mente

The project will take place in Modica, Italy and will last 9 days +2 travel days, from November 14th to November 25th.

WE Radio 2.0 aims to empower young people, increase their social engagement, contribute to life-long learning and selfestablishment of young people, involving young people and youth workers with fewer opportunities. During the project, we will learn how to create a participatory broadcast that encourages youth involvement, discovers new forms of participation and promotes youth entrepreneurship in a form of web radio. As a result, organisations and youth workers will be able to help young people establish their own web radio which they will run without the mediation of adults. The radio will be entirely created by young people who will decide on topics, formats, editorial lines and contents.

Project aims:

increase the quality of youth work by presenting a new, more participatory approach
encourage organisations to set up their participatory web radio
improve outside communication of partner organisations
increase the aggregation, group participation and expression of young people based on their shared interests
