Who is it for?
This vocational educational training program is designed for those identifying as women — particularly women entrepreneurs working in climate action across the European Union who are ready to learn how to start their own podcast and share their stories with the world.
This program is a great fit for you if you:
- Are new to podcasting: You might have no experience in podcasting, and that’s fine! This program is designed to guide you through every step of the process, from learning the basics to recording your first episode.
- Care about your neighborhood: You might be building a local or online community that promotes programs such as low-carbon lifestyles, circular economy practices, or regenerative living.
- Have a creative vision: You could be an artist, designer, or innovator working towards a regenerative future, such as eco-artists, circular fashion brands, or architects designing net-zero cities.
What does the program cover?
This vocational educational training program combines practical podcasting skills with conscious marketing, all wrapped up in a warm, supportive environment. Whether you’re flying solo or working with a small team, we’ve got your back!
Here’s what you’ll learn…
- Conception: Develop your podcast’s vision, choose engaging topics, master storytelling and interviews, and get comfortable with the tech.
- Vocal Training: Find your authentic voice, build confidence, and learn how to speak with clarity and power.
- Production: Record, edit, and publish like a pro.
- Conscious Marketing: Promote, monetize, and grow your podcast in alignment with your values.
- Holistic Approach: Learn how to apply regenerative principles to your whole podcast journey.
And to deepen your experience, you’ll also take part in fireside chats with locals either in Greece or Austria — a chance to connect, listen, and collect authentic stories that can inspire your podcasting journey.
