The purpose of the program "PoliCY Talks - Promoting Democratic Values through Podcasting" is to create and produce podcast episodes aimed at informing citizens, with a particular emphasis on young people, about important political and social issues.
The program aims to promote democratic values and political participation through the innovative use of podcasting as a communication tool. Through a series of thematic episodes, participants will have the opportunity to listen to and engage in discussions concerning critical issues such as human rights, equality, transparency in governance, and citizen participation in political processes.
The episodes will include interviews with politicians, academics, and representatives of civil society, who will share their knowledge and experiences regarding the challenges facing democracy today. Through these conversations, listeners will be encouraged to think critically, engage actively, and take action to improve their societies.
"PoliCY Talks" also aims to raise awareness among young people about the importance of political participation and being informed, highlighting the role that everyone can play in promoting democratic values. Through the podcasts, young individuals will have the chance to express their own opinions and proposals, actively participating in public discourse.
The program is funded by the European Solidarity Corps, which supports initiatives that promote social inclusion, active participation of young people, and the empowerment of civil society in Europe.
