European School Radio – The First Student Radio/ Youthradio.eu is launching the new 2026–27 radio season and invites schools/ educational units, teachers, and students to take an active part in its online programme with their own radio shows and podcasts.
European School Radio/ Youthradio.eu is an online radio platform and app:
https://europeanschoolradio.eu/, https://youthradio.eu/
It is a radio station dedicated exclusively to student/youth-created content, broadcasting 24/7 and operating continuously for the past 15 years, while building a rich audio archive of more than 13,000 authentic productions.
Each school / youth team can choose the topics that interest them, the type of programme they would like to create, and their own unique way of expressing themselves.
Participation is open to all schools/educational units, at any time during the school year.
Discover how your school can take part by exploring our Detailed Participation Guide:

What does radio mean to your students?
What role do podcasts play in their everyday lives? What does music mean to them? And, more broadly, what can sound communicate?
The beginning of the school year is the perfect time to give students the space to discover their own answers.
Talk with them about their interests. Ask them what they would like to explore and how they imagine themselves as creators of audio content.
🎧 What stories would they like to tell?
🎙️ Who would they like to interview, and what would they ask?
🎶 How would they bring a story to life through music and sound?
💬 If they could start a conversation about an issue they genuinely care about, what would it be?
📻 And why would it be important for that voice to reach other listeners?
Through the Student Radio methodology, students have the opportunity to explore, through hands-on experience in the classroom, a range of creative and professional fields:
Journalism, Communication, Radio, Podcasting, DJing, Audio Recording, Audio Engineering, Music and Sound Design
Through collaboration, research, creativity and self-expression, every student can discover a role that suits them.
Give them the opportunity to discover their own talent.
Take an active part in the new radio season and let’s create together a rich, creative and diverse radio programme made by young people, for young people!
