We started last year, merging with COMSOC – Comunicació Social. COMSOC joined femProcomuns contributing their experience in educommunication, education for global justice and community revitalization. This past year, we have conducted radio workshops for schools and adults and have launched two projects with local schools and young people in Mozambique.
school radio workshops have been held in Esplugues de Llobregat, Barcelona, Cardedeu, Sant Quirze de Besora, Tortosa, Banyoles, and Figueres. Activities aimed at children and young people of different ages that have allowed them to start in the world of radio, make radio and at the same time build community, plunge into human rights. These workshops have also served to make visible the languages of origin present in the school beyond Catalan and Spanish, such as Arabic, Tarifit, Polish or Romanian.
Hand in hand with Architecture Without Borders (ASF) and the cooperative Almena Feminista, an ecofeminist education project has started with young people from Inhambane, in Mozambique, and Catalonia. On the other hand, we have launched a project with the Akwava Foundation, aimed mainly at students and the teachers of Catalan educational centres, to make visible the care inside and outside the educational centres.
From COMSOC we have also accompanied and trained adults, through training for teachers in school radio in Cardedeu. And in Sant Antoni de Vilamajor (Baix Montseny), within the framework of the “Podcast course, the new narratives that the world listens to” and the “Practical radio course to connect with the world” a weekly workshop has been held, from February to June and from October to December 2022.
You can listen to the following Radio 4 interview (in Catalan), issued last July, which incorporates some fragments of the projects developed and also see the photo album shared above, with some of our recent experiences.
