Universicast is designed and created by a group of university students from our city or who have chosen Cremona for their university studies. Starting from some very first ideas born within the Interuniversity Consultationthrough Universicast students talk about different aspects of their lives: university experiences in Cremona, in Italy or abroad but also aspects more linked to other spheres of everyday life, from looking for a home, to services for university students, to discovering museums and places of culture present in the area, events, but also useful advice in the kitchen and much more.
“The podcast aims to promote the protagonism of young people and their active participation, encouraging the development and acquisition of skills and stimulating peer-to-peer communication, through multimedia methods and languages close to young people”. In the planning and creation of the podcast the children were accompanied and supported by Francesco Locane, podcaster and radio broadcaster with decades of experience. The professional shared with them both moments of a more training nature and moments of drafting and recording the contents.
