Paul Scarron High School has offered a unique course in radio communication techniques since 2008, available to students in the Literary Section, in the second and last years of high school. The main objective of this project is to allow Paul Scarron school to continue to offer this original teaching method that has made the school and the literary section attractive to students because it offers job and career opportunities in communication professions and the chance to acquire real hands-on experience in reporting and interviewing on the ground. The radio class is also a non-negligeable factor for this rural school in attracting students. However, the Radio Communications teacher who created the class retired in 2014, therefore another teacher had to be trained to teach the class in radio-communications and journalism, otherwise the class would have to have been cancelled whereas the school had decided to broaden access to include first year high school students and all sections in the second year. Starting in September 2014, the selected participant, myself Denise Barstow, an English teacher who has long been committed to European projects such as Comenius, Euroscola, Youth in Action, and European Youth Parliament, co-taught the Radio communications class with Eric Lucas and after completing the training class thanks to this Mobility, I replaced him when he retired in November 2014. Because Fréquence Sillé, the community radio station that is located on the school premises, has long collaborated with the high school on European Projects that allow young people to exchange and share ideas, it seemed logical to continue exchanges with a partner organisation from previous Eurpean projects, in this case Radio Enlace in Madrid, who are reliable, competent and noted for their innovative radio training programs. During the radio communications class offered by Asociacion Cultural Taller de Communicacion Radio Enlace located in Hortaleza, a district in the north of Madrid, I attended 10 very full days of training that combined radio teaching skills with linguistic and inter-cultural skills that I have already applied directly to working with my own students. The full detailed report on the contents is in the annexe documents. I participated in 4 half-day training classes taught by trainers Francisco Aragon and Lucia Gallen, with a group of young people from the Bilhalla Youth Center. The teaching modules included Theoretical knowledge : radio as a media, history and characteristics of radio, 100 years on the airwaves, Community Radio in which citizens participate, radio formats, radio show guidelines and legal obligations ; and Practical hands-on skills : speech and diction exercises, recording the news, creating a thematic radio show, creating a musical show and radio drama, using the mixing table, recording radio shows. The other days included participation and practice, for example participation in live and recorded radio shows, studio and off-site interviews, and more practice doing the sound-engineering for presenters, using mixing tables and sound-editing software Audacity, AdobeAudition et CoolEditPro. Other activities included discussions on the role and mission of the community radio as a tool in popular education and participative democracy and public expression, ethics in radio broadcasting, ontological questions, standard best practices, manipulation by the media, how to react when faced with manipulation, responsibility vs. freedom of expression, persistence of stereotypes of minorities (specifically disabled, the elderly, immigrants and the unemployed) and how radio is a tool of inclusion and integration. Some examples of practical exercises include : creating a radio show from start to finish, adapting a topic to the different radio formats, preparing the show guide, writing and language for radio, how to include music, sound-effects, and silence, improvisation exercises, understanding the role of the presenter, recording shows and interviews with various neighborhood associations : 2 groups with Down?s syndrome Voces de Aprocor, 1 group with brain damage Grupo Dano Cerebral, with Centro Juvenil, a youth center for delinquents and recent immigrants, with the Hortaleza Daytime Activity Center for the Elderly, with a local theater group, and with a local branch of the political party Podemos. The impact has been enormous because as early as November I already felt more confident and capable of teaching the radio class in my school. I proposed innovative teaching activities I had experienced myself and practical exercises for my students, thanks to all the different activities done in Spain. In the long term, I think I have acquired enough radio skills to be able to lead new radio projects and partnerships with other European schools to help them exchange via radio on subjects concerning youth and society, current events in the news, to encourage citizenship and participation in democracy.
