On Sunday 10 December 2023, International Human Rights Day, the Council of Europe’s Quality Label Centres launched the StudioStar podcast series. The KDYS EurOg European Quality Label Youth Centre Killarney hosted an event in house which enabled young people from Ireland to engage with their peers, online, across the European Union.

StudioStar is a European initiative by de Hoge Rielen, Destelheide and Hanenbos (ADJ) in Belgium and the Service national de la jeunesse (SNJ) in Luxembourg that gives young people the chance to have their voices heard on human rights.

Young people from 11 European countries worked under professional guidance in the 13 youth centres bearing the Council of Europe’s Quality Label on a podcast series on the right to freedom of expression. In that StudioStar podcast series, they explored the concept of freedom of expression, how far it should go, and what value this human right has in their home countries.

The young people spoke about their experiences while creating the podcast series and, of course, various clips were listened to.  The show was hosted from Destelheide, ADJ’s Centre for Youth, Arts and Creation in Dworp (Belgium), in partnership with SNJ and Council of Europe.

KDYS was supported in this project by Youth Information, Kerry Comhairle na nÓg and Radio Kerry.  Thank you so much to all those who participated in the PodCast which was successfully compiled by Nora Butler KDYS Youth Information Digital Youth Worker.
