RadioActive 2.0:
A Social Innovation to Support the Empowerment And Development of Urban Youth In Newham and UEL Students

Currently underway as a pilot project supported through EDUCOM QR seed funding, RadioActive 2.0 is exploring developing this initiative and platform in a number of ways:

​

1) Consolidating and extending collaboration between the Schools of Education and Communities (EDUCOM) and Arts and Creative Industries (ACI) at UEL, and Newham Youth Zones.

 

2) Co-designing an updated pilot platform with Newham Youth Zone young people and UEL students.

 

3) Extending the current internet radio features to support additional multimedia ones (e.g. sound and video podcasting)

 

4) Providing a ‘digital skills and employability incubator’ that provides a platform for progression to related HE courses and employment in the Creative and Digital Industries.

 

This work is an original socio-technical and pedagogical innovation, that uses the platform of participatory internet radio to support Newham young people and UEL students to develop: social and emotional skills; digital and 21C skills; and, industry specific journalistic and media skills.
