IMB | 01.01.2001Digital Dialogues - Networking Community Media
The project coordinated by the University of Education, Freiburg was based on the experiences and outcomes of the previous project Creating Community Voices (CCV) and addressed key questions for adult education in Europe: the development of self-confidence and self-determination in educational pathways for adult learners from socially disadvantaged groups as well as for those who, due to their local situation, have difficulty in gaining access to adult education programmes; and the development of new teaching methods (including ODL) to enhance these groups’ involvement in broadcasting, new technologies and adult education provision. To gain a more long lasting impact, one focus was on training trainers. The focus of the outcomes was also on providing curricula and training aids for trainers. In the context of Digital Dialogues 9 different activities took place, some of which interrelated or interacted during the course of the overall project.
1. Networking and exchange: how to set up an internet platform for children, teenagers and media pedagogues (Paedagogische Hochschule Freiburg, Germany).
2. Digital audio editing for working class people (Radio Robin Hood, Turku, Finland).
3. and 4. Live broadcasting of local events / integration of representatives of local organisations not active in radio before (Free Radio Freudenstadt, Germany)
5. Creation and use of a local sound archive. (Jugendhilfswerk Freiburg, Germany).
6. Web casting as a supplement to broadcasting frequencies (Radio Orange, Vienna, Austria).
7. Inviting parents to keep pace with their children’s internet skills. Mothers and daughters learn about the internet. (Jugendhilfswerk Freiburg, Germany).
8. Community Radio training for refugees and asylum seekers (Sunderland University, UK) 9. Interactive stories told on the radio. Autobiography: thought and action. A way to build up identity for socially disadvantaged (Mediapolis Europa, Rome, Italy).
All activities were continuously monitored and evaluated.
The products of Digital Dialogues consist of workshops and courses, handbooks of good practice (train the trainers) delivered in different languages, a website www.digital-dialogues.de where - along with other materials - the outcomes of the overall project are available to the public – especially to networks and institutions in the field of adult education. A book publication (accepted by Hampton Press New York) in which the experience and findings of the project are discussed in the light of sociology, development studies and pedagogical theory is expected in December 2005.
