Dubai Press Club Fosters Arab Youth Empowerment with the Debut of their Second Arab Podcast Initiative
In a bid to foster high-quality Arabic content that resonates regionally and globally, the Dubai Press Club has initiated the second edition of its Arab Podcast Programme. This comprehensive initiative, running for five weeks, is aimed at equipping young Arabs with the tools to express themselves in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
The programme, hosted at the Dubai Press Club and led by Charbel Issa, a certified Podeo trainer, delivers hands-on training across eight core modules. These modules cover essential podcasting skills such as scriptwriting, voice presentation, content strategy, branding, recording techniques, editing, hosting, distribution, and digital marketing.
The Arab Podcast Programme primarily targets Arab youth, with the inaugural week showing strong engagement from participants. The sessions provide a mix of theoretical knowledge and practical application, ensuring a well-rounded learning experience.
One of the highlights of the programme is a pitching session for podcast ideas, with feedback from regional podcasting professionals. This provides participants with valuable insights and guidance, helping them to refine their ideas and create compelling content.
Stefano Fallaha, CEO and Founder of Podeo, a leading podcasting platform in the MENA region, has expressed support for the Arab Podcast Programme. The initiative is part of Dubai's broader commitment to driving innovation in Arab media and promoting digital literacy, aligning with shifting content consumption habits.
By enhancing the quality and reach of Arabic podcasts, the programme contributes to the globalization of Arabic audio content, allowing it to resonate with a broader audience.
