The recipe for the MPSix workshops was quite simple: take a carload of architects, writers, musicians and photographers. Put them in six Scottish cities (at various temperatures) for five days, blend with a room full of eager teenagers and stir in some groovy new technology. Introduce a healthy dose of fun. Simmer gently . . .
The aim of the workshops was to give young Scots the skills to make their own downloadable audio guides to the cities they live in. These guides – podcasts – offer a more intimate, more relevant idea of each city from a teenager’s point of view.
In doing this, the workshop participants learned about digital recording, writing for audio, interview techniques, sound editing, architecture and the environment, as well as conducting their own research into key places to visit around the city.
The podcasts created on these workshops are now available to download.
