This micro-course is the direct result of an Erasmus + project led by Studentradion i Sverige, LAB University of Applied Sciences (Lahti, Finland) and Turku University of Applied Sciences (Turku, Finland). It aims to improve student and community radio broadcasting by providing an educational program for student and community radio broadcasters across the Nordics and Europe.
A cost-effective and efficient tool for radio production training at the disposal of Nordic student and community radios, it covers topics like responsible media production, community engagement and fact-checking. It is thought of as a general introduction on radio production and broadcasting that should tease the students’ curiosity in expanding their knowledge in the field.
Each chapter is composed of audio clips and its transcripts. At the end of each chapter, there is a short quiz to test your knowledge and added information on the covered topic. In order to pass the course, you need to have completed each chapter and answered every quiz correctly. This course can be used by student and community radio stations to teach their new members who are new to radio broadcasting.

On the 20th of March, representatives from 15 student and community radios from Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark gathered in Göteborg. The goal was two-fold: promote a newly created online micro-course on radio production and strengthen student and community radio in the Nordics.
The day kick-started with an introduction on the created course to the target audience. This was the result of an Erasmus+ project initiated by Studentradion i Sverige together with the Turku University of Applied Sciences and LAB University of Applied Sciences. Covering topics such as responsible media production, community engagement and fact-checking it can be used by student and community radio stations in the Nordic countries.
Student and community radios are facing many challenges in a fast changing world. A common challenge is to ensure high quality and accuracy of information and news produced by its broadcasters. Many do not realize the power of the tool they have in their hands and how it can affect, but also influence their audience, listeners and society. With this micro-course, the partners hope that it will strengthen and improve independent student and community radio broadcasting in the Nordics.
Additionally to the micro-course introduction, two panels and debates on crucial topics were organized.
- ”The use of AI in radio journalism” with Max Sommerstein (Development editor for news and AI, Sveriges Radio), Elise Hazel Asbjørnsen (Newsroom editor, NRK Nyheter), and Jenny Wiik (Senior lecturer, JMG).
Many thanks to everyone who participated. This was a truly inspirational day where we set up the foundations for more long-term collaborations strengthening student and community radio broadcasting in the Nordics.
This project is co-funded by the European Union.
