Team’s experience
COMSOC – Comunicació Social is a non-profit organisation that was founded in 2008 and is currently part of the femProcomuns cooperative. Since its origins, it has stimulated educommunication, especially through radio. With experience in local and national radio stations, in 2009 it launched an educational and cultural project in which the podcast was a central element, called «Concurs de podcast – Contes del món» and had an impressive reception for seven years: it promoted the creation of almost 1,000 podcasts by children, young people and adults.
COMSOC has trained hundreds of young people through radio workshops and also promoted a radio contest at the Vilamajor Institute (Sant Pere de Vilamajor). It was then, during the 2019 lockdown, that the radio programme «Sota la mascareta» was born, awarded by the Audiovisual Council of Catalonia at the eduCAC Awards. Since the end of 2020, COMSOC has promoted the creation of Ràdios Escolars en Xarxa (REX), a common space for educational radio stations from all over the Catalan Countries, and recently promoted the second edition of this radio school at Radio Vilamajor, with the dynamisation of podcasting and radio courses.
