MicOn Podcast Workshops
Podcasts are powerful tools — they let people speak in their own words, share their realities, and connect across borders and experiences. For people from Ukraine living in Berlin and Brandenburg, podcasting can be a way to reclaim your voice, reflect on your journey, and take part in public conversations that matter.
Through our Podcast Workshops, we invite you to explore podcasting as a creative and practical way to share your story, engage with your community, raise awareness, and contribute to a more inclusive society.
The program starts in November 2025. Participation is free of charge.
Created and coordinated by Commit gGmbH

About
In each of the three program years (2025–2028), we offer a full-day introductory workshop on podcasting, followed by individual mentoring to help you produce your own podcast episode. Each round includes:
One-day workshop
Learn the basics of podcasting — from developing a concept to technical tools and interview techniques.
Mentoring and production support
Get one-on-one guidance to plan, record, and edit your own podcast episode. You’ll be supported from idea to final cut in Hindenburg.
Final podcast episode
You’ll produce a professional episode featuring your voice, your story, or your conversation — with fellow participants, local changemakers, or on your own.
Public sharing & visibility
These podcast episodes will be shared as part of our public outreach — highlighting Ukrainian perspectives and making your experience visible to a wider audience.
Workshops are co-led by an expert from the Berlin School of Podcasting, Benjamin Lorch, and Malwina Fendrych, Communication and Projects Lead at Commit.
All technical equipment is provided free of charge.
Why podcasting
Podcasting gives people the freedom to tell their stories in their own language, tone, and pace. For Berlin-based Ukrainian communities navigating displacement, integration, and belonging, it can be much more than a medium — it’s a tool for connection, creativity, and healing.
Through podcasting, you can:
Podcasting can also serve as a form of self-reflection: by putting complex experiences into words and shaping them into a meaningful story arc, you gain clarity, make sense of your journey, and reclaim your narrative.
Along the way, you’ll develop valuable skills in communication, media literacy, project planning, and self-organization. Whether you’re completely new to audio or already have an idea in mind, this workshop will guide and support you in bringing your story to life.
