The Youth Fund
The Youth Fund is a Special Project run by Radiodays Europe to support new entrants to the Radio, Audio & Podcasting Industry
It’s focused on young people aged 18 – 25 to develop their skills and interest and strengthen the future of the industry
Participation provides a bespoke experience for young people with specially created training and networking sessions for them.
The Youth Fund is an amazing opportunity for stations, businesses and groups to bring junior members of staff that would
otherwise not be able to attend.
Last years participants came to Radiodays Europe in Munich and had this feedback about the programme:
“I feel like it was a great and also quite simple way to take these first steps in the broader world of our industry, further away from the media we might be working for”
“I think it would be impossible to attend this programme and not come out with some valuable learnings. It’s also a great opportunity to network and get inspired by what other organisations are doing”
“I’d recommend the programme to other young people, because it’s a completely different experience to anything else you’d normally do at work!”
“I think it’s a great opportunity to hear more about the sector and speak to some of the people involved at management levels, and understand how they think about the sector on a more strategic level”
Included in the programme for participants in the Youth Fund:
• Online meetings prior to conference attendance
• A special programme of networking and training across 3 days
• Opportunities to meet speakers and key industry representatives during the conference
• Attendance at Summits (Sunday)
• Attendance for both Monday and Tuesday main conference programme
• Attendance at all Social events
Joining the Youth Fund
Registration
If you are a young person who wishes to join the event – please fill in this form and we will be in touch with you.
Further information
You must be between the ages of 18-25 years to apply for the Youth Fund. You must be able to attend all three days of the event. This is not a competition though we do have to limited spaces which are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
It’s very easy to get involved but be aware, we only have a limited number of places on this programme.
We will have a panel of industry experts to assess the applications and we will hold a short meeting with you online before we make any decisions.
So if you or someone you know in the industry who is just starting out is interested in this amazing opportunity, fill in your contact details, and tell us why YOU deserve a place. Then create and upload a short video and that’s it!
Closing Date is 11th January 2025 5pm CET
While we do not support travel and accommodation costs we will work with participants to find solutions to keep costs as low as possible.
