LIVE ON!
_radio, youth, and Europe: creating connections, sharing voices, amplifying alternative stories
The atmosphere is heavy—pandemic, ecological crisis, conflicts.
Young people are growing up in a world flooded with anxiety-inducing news.
And all too often, they have no space to speak, question, or invent.
Live On! was born out of that urgency.
A one-year Erasmus+ project, imagined by four European cultural and media organisations, to put the mic back in the hands of young people and help them reclaim their voice.
The goal: to build connection, trust, and stories that bring fresh air.
And to use radio as a playground—a space for engagement, and collective creation.
What we did concretely:
-
A first phase of remote collaboration: over 9 months, young participants from France, Italy, and Serbia joined two virtual exchanges featuring workshops in theatre, writing, dialogue, and active listening.
-
A week-long gathering in Turin: radio and theatre labs, intercultural encounters, creative time, and collaborative production.
-
At the end of the project, participants created: 4 international group podcasts + 4 live radio shows broadcast to the public.
