The Digital Hub Podcast programme has come to an end after a successful year with some lovely feedback from the students.
Following a strong demand from schools, The Digital Hub Podcast programme stands as a unique educational initiative designed to teach students the fundamentals of podcast production.
Developed by facilitators Aidan Fitzmaurice and Dervilia Roche, Dublin’s first Historian-in-Residence for Children at the @dccculturecompany, the programme offers a unique experience where students create their own historical podcasts, from content creation to recording and production.
Programme Highlights:
• Session 1: Information gathering and historical research.
• Session 2: Introduction to podcasts and production tools.
• Session 3: Walking tour of the city, enriching the podcast content.
• Session 4: Creation of jingles and comedic ads for the podcast.
• Session 5: Podcast recording session.
Through this programme, The Digital Hub and @dccculturecompany have effectively combined education, creativity, and local history, transforming podcasting into an attracting platform for students to explore digital storytelling and media production.
Building on the success of its 2024 pilot, the Podcast Programme has continued to expand. In November 2024, it was extended to 24 fourth-class students from St. Catherine’s National School (pictured above) who have just completed the programme.
