Counterpart’s USAID-funded Rights and Dignity project held a workshop on radio techniques and podcast production called “Local Voices.” The training provided members of local human rights organizations with tools and basic knowledge in communication, radio techniques, and podcast production to effectively express their voices in promoting the human rights of vulnerable groups. During two sessions, 31 participants from 19 civil society organizations strengthened key skills in oral expression techniques, radio formats, content design, scripting, recording, and audio editing, combining theoretical sessions with practical creation spaces.

At the end of the training, each organization received multimedia equipment for podcast production, consisting of a professional podcasting microphone and a mobile recording booth. These tools will enable them to maintain and expand their capabilities in producing high-quality audiovisual content.

With this initiative, the project fosters networks of communicators committed to equality and justice, taking a significant step towards building an inclusive and diverse platform for the promotion of human rights. Watch the video below to learn more.
