Youth on Air Show

July 20, 2021

As part of the 2nd output of the YOUth on Air project, Out of the Box has created 2 radio broadcasts for the “Around Europe in 60 Minutes”. This series of 10 radio broadcasts will serve as a testing tool for the approaches and methodology, produced within IO1 and intended for youth organizations and radio practitioners to mentor and stimulate quality use of radio as a tool in youth work sector.

The main aim of this output is to serve as a pilot activity through which the participants will explore the power of digital radio and its ability to significantly advance the position of youth, which in most communities is not yet being used to its full potential. Furthermore, it will provide the NGOs and radio practitioners around Europe with necessary support for the idea to be realized.

The show “Around Europe in 60 minutes” has been created by online cooperation of all project partners. It is a product of the exchange of knowledge and expertise between the youth and media experts with the aim to look at all of the different ways that radio engages audiences, not only on-air but through “listening to listeners”, especially the young ones.

The participants gathered around the idea of their own online radio called YOUth on AIR which creates a space where young people from the community can air their views and speak freely about issues important to them, putting them in a position to influence decision-making that affects them.

The project is co-financed by the Erasmus+ KA2 Programme of the European Commission

Why Out of the Box International

The seemingly ever-lasting depression of European economies has shaken the very foundations of many European societies. The shear rate of unemployment in Europe and the omnipresent environmental crisis coupled with the often frustratingly slow process of decision making in the EU, are calling for civil society actors to step in and fill the void.

In the aftermath of the 2008. economic crisis, the apprehension of falling under the spell of apathy of economic depression across the continent has not been easy to shake off. However, pinpointing the culprits for the current state of affairs on any particular EU decision maker is not the answer. Nonetheless, the fact remains that the current approach to the economic and environmental crisis hasn’t yet shown the affected citizens the light at the end of the tunnel.

As representatives of the civil society we feel the need to make our voice heard in the midst of the current debate on economic crisis. Being a social enterprise we offer new and feasible ideas in education and community work, creative cross-sectorial cooperation among different actors and strong networking coalitions to turn these dire economic challenges into possibilities through social entrepreneurship initiatives which aim at benefiting wide range of citizens, particularly vulnerable groups and those affected by the economic crisis.

Social entrepreneurship is a simple concept that has been put into practice by civil society actors for the benefit of a specific social group or people, and this is precisely what we want: to create projects and initiatives with fresh ideas in different policies, educational programs or tools, support businesses, empower cultural initiatives and offer different solutions to individuals, corporate bodies, everybody who believe that we can have more Creative, Innovative and Cohesive Europe.
