Radio Web Europe: A Multimedia Podcasting and RSS Experience in Europe
Answering a call for proposals of Plan D for “Democracy, Dialogue and Debate”, a partnership of eight non-profit civil organisations from seven EU Member States initiated the Radio Web Europe venture. The project aims at involving young people and promoting their participation in the debate on the future of Europe. Within the network of Austria, Italy, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom, Radio Web Europe was developed as a multimedia platform using the latest podcasting and RSS tools. Linking civil society with policymakers at different levels, the project, which started in December 2006, will finish by the end of this year.
In order to foster a complete and successful involvement of both young Europeans and the participating organisations, the implementation process of Radio Web Europe was accompanied by thematic focus groups and workshops. Both measures served to encourage the youth’s participation in the process and support further debates in accordance with the European Commission’s Plan D. With the target group being socially involved 18- to 35-year-olds, the role of young people in this venture is clearly that of “European citizenship” representatives. By using the Radio Web Europe website and its multimedia contents, they can make themselves heard via interviews, statements, analyses and surveys, as well as in live chats. Participants are not only able to view and download audio/video contents, but also to upload their own multimedia contributions.
Radio Web Europe will close with a final transnational conference, which will be held on November 30th in Rome, Italy. As part of the project’s finalisation, all parties involved will share their experiences, exchange opinions on the topic and create new ideas about the further involvement of young people in shaping Europe’s future.
