Audioart and Podcasting Sessions at Bideford Library, North Devon 

Ages: 10-16 years 

Program:Ongoing workshop blocks

Block Structure:

  • Block 1: Introduction to Audioart and Podcasting

  • Block 2: Advanced Podcasting and Jingle-Making

  • Block 3: Visual Media and Publishing incl Canva and Capcut

  • Field Experience: Practical application through the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) heritage event

    Our MOLA field experience represented the culmination of skills developed throughout the workshop series. During this professional collaboration, our young participants documented archaeological investigations, conducted interviews with heritage experts, and created valuable multimedia content preserving local history. This real-world application demonstrated their remarkable growth in both technical abilities and confidence, with MOLA representatives noting that our youth team's involvement was "the crucial key component that made the event so interesting."

    Our workshops have demonstrated significant positive outcomes in community engagement, reducing isolation, fostering collaboration, enhancing cultural enrichment, and improving participant wellbeing. Starting with 9 participants, our core group of 4 dedicated attendees has shown remarkable progress and growth throughout the program. Contact us to book a place:
