CONVERSATIONS ON GENDER, INTIMACY AND SEXUALITY

Episodes produced using the activities in the manual
Running radio workshops on emotional and sexual life“.

In this series of episodes, you will discover extracts from workshops organised in Limerick. The aim? To have people experiment with radio and see how it could become a means of telling their own story and their relationship with others. The microphone then becomes the confidant, the attentive and devoted ear, of past or present stories connected to intimate and sexual life.

During weekends, afternoons and sunny mornings, the participants shared their stories on diverse and important themes such as the relationship with the body, endometriosis, gender roles and vulnerability. We used the activities described in our pedagogical manual “Facilitating radio workshops on emotional and sexual life” which you can find on the website. These excerpts give you a better idea of what workshops can look like!

CREATE YOUR PODCAST IN 25 HOURS :

A radio exploration of gender and sexualities

Episodes created with the activities of the manual
Creating podcasts on sexuality and intimacy“.

This series of episodes is the result of weeks of training around podcast creation. The project associations  guided groups of young people in the creation of their own individual or collective podcast. Between fantasies, questions of gender and intimacy, the participants were able to explore and reappropriate these themes. These are their voices, their desires and stories which you are about to hear. They were all able to try their hand at sound recording, de-rushing, editing and mixing. Using the activities in the “Create your own podcast” manual, we provided them with activities and a fun way to get started with podcast creation!
