Radio Cinekid

All the best podcasters know that the best stories are found close to home. Aimed at children aged 9 to 12 years, the Radio Cinekid workshop lets young participants find and tell exciting stories from their community. The children get to go on an exciting adventure and make their very own mini podcast!

During five interactive workshops, children will learn everything they need to know about making a podcast. They’ll explore the tricks of audio storytelling and become experts at recording techniques. In groups, they’ll produce a plan and head out into the city to collect inspiring stories.

The workshop takes the children on a journey of discovery through Amsterdam, visiting places that are special to them. The young podcasters take their audience on a personal storytelling journey to their favourite hang-out spot, a place full of memories, or another location they want to share.

Radio Cinekid isn’t just lots of fun; it’s also great for children’s learning. They get to share their memories of locations or buildings with each other during the workshops, bringing their experiences to life. And as the children themselves decide which stories are worth telling, they feel a sense of ownership over the creative process.

This workshop is jointly organized by Cinekid and its partners. For the time being, the workshop is only open to participants who have been invited by these partners.

At the end of the five workshops, the children will have produced a five-minute podcast that will feature at Cinekid Festival during the autumn holiday. A professional jury will hand an award to the best young podcast makers, who will get to accept the Radio Cinekid Award in person!

Cinekid developed the workshops in collaboration with Stratenmakers Audiocollectief and Erfgoedwijzer met de klas. Radio Cinekid is supported by the Cultural Participation Fund and the Janivo Stichting foundation, as well as by its collaborations with Swazoom, Noordje, Amsterdam Public Library, and Mokum Maakcoalitie.
