PODCast is a project under the Erasmus+ program, focusing on digital literacy, non-formal education, and fostering inclusivity. Partner organisations of this project are: Defoin (Spain), Mais Cidadania (Portugal), Media Diversity (Serbia), Media Diversity Global (Belgium), Eurotreviso (Italy), and YC Epirus (Greece). The project is based on 3 main goals: to promote digital literacy among young people, to promote social inclusion of young people, and to foster collaboration and impact of youth organisations. 

Enhancing Digital Literacy: The project provides training and resources to equip young people with essential digital and media skills, enabling them to navigate and contribute to the digital world effectively.

Promoting Social Inclusion: The project creates safe spaces for youth voices, fostering representation and belonging through activities like podcast competitions.

Fostering Collaboration and Impact: Project builds connections between youth, organizations, and institutions across Europe to develop sustainable solutions for shared challenges, promoting employability and active citizenship. 

Main activities of the PODcast project are going to be:

#1 Research about youth PODcast channels already existing, and about specific support and skills that young people would need to receive to become podcast creators or improve their existing skills in their podcast creation. 

#2 International training sessions for youth and youth workers: digital literacy workshops and podcast production training.

#3 Podcast competitions: a platform for youth to showcase their creativity and ideas in national and international levels.

#4 Open-access resources: created and available guides, tools, and educational materials for widespread use, especially for youth organisations, youth workers, and young individuals.

The PODcast project gathered young people and youth workers in Belgrade, Serbia from 6th to 9th of November 2025 for a Long Term Training Activity about podcasting. The training activity was formed according to the previous activities of the project, such as the research and the creation of learning modules. 

Each partner organisation participated in the training activity with 4 participants - 2 young people, 1 youth worker, and 1 management representative of organisation, together involving 24 participants. The training activities were led by experts in podcasting fields, and covered the following topics: podcast recording and filming, podcast promotion, digital tools and platforms for podcasting, good practices, storytelling, scriptwriting and communication, among other related topics. The topics were aligned with the created learning PODcast modules about podcasting, to review the module content. 

Meanwhile, representatives of each partner organisation held a transnational partners meeting, where representatives reflected on the project progress, made decisions and discussed the next project steps.
