what we offer
The Aswatona scholarship program offers capacity building and an exchange space for podcasters of the WANA region. As a podcast scholar you have special access to an intense workshop program. Our main goal during our workshops is that our participants will be able to get to know each other, exchange ideas, and learn from each other. That’s why we focus on maximum interactivity, variety, and plenty of room for sharing thoughts and ideas. Furthermore, we always work together with local NGOs and activists from the region. Local experts give inputs on topics such as gender and its intersections, audio editing, storytelling, podcast production, and data security. The workshops are only open to participants who have applied for the Aswatona scholarship program. However, we also offer online workshops on our social media channels. To stay up to date follow us on Instagram and Facebook.
