Our main objectives with these workshops:
2- To provide participants with the foundational knowledge and skills necessary to create their podcasts.
Providing foundational knowledge and skills includes teaching the basics of podcast production, such as scriptwriting, audio recording, editing, and publishing. These workshops covered technical aspects (like using microphones, recording software, and editing tools) as well as creative elements (like crafting engaging content and effective storytelling techniques). All the participants also learned about podcast distribution platforms and strategies for reaching their intended audience. The goal was to equip them with the confidence and competence to independently produce their own podcasts.
This objective is essential because it ensures that participants are not just inspired but also equipped to take action. By gaining the necessary skills, they can transform their ideas into tangible projects. This foundational knowledge demystifies the process of podcasting, making it accessible to beginners. Moreover, these skills are transferable and can be applied to other areas of media production and communication, enhancing participants' overall digital literacy and creative capabilities.
