RadioActive101: Adapting the ‘space’ of radio as participatory media to promote inclusion, informal learning and employability

Abstract

This chapter describes how the ‘whole space’ of the radio production process has been adapted, following a participatory media approach, to function as a motivating and innovative pedagogy that promotes the informal learning of 21st century skills. This has been achieved with the help of two Community Action Research projects, namely RadioActive UK and RadioActive Europe, that have been funded by the Nominet Trust in the UK and the EC Lifelong Learning Programme, respectively.
