Launching the Youth Podcast "Youth of Pernik"
We are excited to announce the launch of the new podcast "Youth of Pernik", initiated by the Youth Club "Let's Be Friends" at the PULSE Foundation, with the support of Pernik Municipality and the International Youth Center. This podcast is not just a media platform – it is a space for ideas, innovation, and engagement of the young people it is dedicated to.
For the youth, by the youth, with inspiration for the future
In a rapidly changing world, it is important for young citizens to have a voice and be aware of the opportunities offered by local authorities. Through "Youth of Pernik", we will focus on topics related to active citizenship, how young people can engage in local activities, and what suggestions are valuable to the authorities.
The goal of the upcoming podcast is precisely to inform young citizens about their rights and the available opportunities for participating in the decision-making process within the municipality. "Youth of Pernik" will focus on topics concerning how young people can actively engage in civic activities and how they can propose ideas and solutions that will be heard, respected, and realized with the support of local authorities.
Team Training
Before the podcast launch, the team of young people participating in its creation went through two significant trainings to ensure high-quality content and technical execution. The first training, led by Kristian Hristov – Bore, focused on organizing the technical aspects and the requirements of modern multimedia production. The second training, conducted by Aleksandar Kumanov and Vladimir Stankov, concentrated on the specifics and nuances of hosting a podcast, including how to engage listeners, make the content interactive and interesting, and how to structure it effectively.
Engaging Content
The podcast will air once a month, with each episode offering interesting conversations, interactive discussions, and valuable experiences from various guests. The recordings will take place in a specially renovated and modernly equipped space at the International Youth Center, ensuring a high-quality audio and visual experience.
"Youth of Pernik" will serve as a platform for meetings between young people and representatives of the municipal authorities, including the administration, members of the municipal council, and city institutions. This will provide a real opportunity for young people to ask questions, express opinions, and gain valuable experience regarding processes happening at the local level.
Vision for the Future
We believe that "Youth of Pernik" will lay the foundations for larger-scale activities and promote cooperation between civil organizations and the Municipality of Pernik. This podcast will provide young people with information about the importance of their voices and help them understand the mechanisms of interaction with local institutions.
Join us on this exciting journey, where we will explore the issues and opportunities ahead for our city. Each episode will inspire you to get involved, share your ideas, and participate in the conversations that can change Pernik!
Let's build a brighter and more active future together! Your voice matters – listen to us, and let's make Pernik a place where we truly want to live.
The creation of the "Youth of Pernik" podcast is made possible thanks to the "Power of Knowledge" Project, funded by the America for Bulgaria Foundation and implemented by the PULSE Foundation, with the support of the Municipality of Pernik and the International Youth Center.
