"Radio YOUth"

The project “Radio YOUth” is an Youth in Action, action 1.2 project that looks for the creation of a e-radio programme on the web. This process, which consists mainly in organisation, participation and communication, will enable youth to develop themselves and grow acquiring diverse competences useful at professional and personal level. We expect as well a great impact in the local community, mainly in youth people. The educational approach adopted will be non-formal education and the main learning methodologies will be learning by doing, cooperative learning, participation and peer to peer.
All youth have between 18 and 30 years old. The project will last for 12 months (August 2013 – July 2014). The 2 first months will be dedicated to the preparation; the rest of the months will be dedicated to the implementation of the activities (web page and e-radio creation, creation of the radio programmes), to the continuous visibility, to the valorization as well as to a continuous evaluation.

The main aim of the project is the development of an online youth radio station, entirely managed by youngsteers that will broadcast information from the youth field

In concrete, the project objectives are:

-To create a space where young people can freely and creatively express their ideas and opinions on important European issues.
-To offer to young people an alternative to crime and social decay.
-To provide young people opportunities for personal and professional, acquiring skills and professionalism that can be spent in future in a business context.
-To create a space for development and trade that can approach youngsters physically distant.
-To promote active citizenship and participation.

The project is planned using a wide range of methodological approaches. Mainly it is based on the toolbox of non-formal education/learning and the activities are learner-centered giving space for participants to mobilize the potential that is available in the group and work on the issues.
