MAKING RADIO

During seven days we will learn how to use recording devices and how to use radio presentation forms. We will make small radioplays, go out to make interviews with the local population, get to know about the local situation of community radios, learn how to use several radio formats, and make a radio broadcast of our choice ourselfes.

For this we will get to know several techniques like multi language approaches, moderation and interview techniques, or how to prepare a proper show. Additional we will learn how to digitally edit our recorded tracks and put them together.

We will work in small groups (3-4 people per group) on a certain topic, that we discuss and finalize beforehand. The whole week and nearly all of the produced material will be around this one topic.
