About this opportunity

The Embassy Brasília, Brazil announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a program to teach 30 representatives of Quilombola communities from different parts of Brazil on the dissemination of podcasts to spread their voices to communications platforms in other parts of Brazil and the world. Program Objective : Experts already consider the podcast one of the most powerful media tools available. A podcast is a collection or series of digital audio files made available for downloading or streaming. Podcasts are typically hosted by an individual or individuals who lead a conversation, share stories, or report the news. Podcasts are already one of the largest and fastest growing tools used by Brazilians to keep themselves informed. Beginning with the bicentennial of the Independence of Brazil, celebrated on September 7, 2022, the Embassy and Consulates in Brazil is supporting the development of a new series that gives voice to the Quilombolas in the country, giving them the opportunity to tell their stories, collective memory, and cultural heritage with the project "These Brazilian Lives". In Brazil, according to the Palmares Cultural Foundation, there are 3,447 Quilombola communities distributed throughout all regions of the country. The Quilombolas are a racial-ethnic group formed by descendants of runaway slaves during slavery and other groups that lived in the Quilombos. The Quilombolas have their own identity, which forms the basis of their historically built social and cultural organizations. In many ways, these communities are distinct from the rest of Brazilian society. For years the Quilombolas suffered from discrimination and the non-recognition of their right to ownership of their land. Today, the ethnic identity of these communities is legally recognized and protected, although many are still under-represented. The podcast training is a skill-building opportunity and aims to teach 30 representatives of Quilombola communities from different parts of Brazil on the dissemination of podcasts to spread their voices to other parts of Brazil and the world. The scarcity of information about their communities in Brazil and elsewhere can be alleviated by encouraging the creation of high-quality storytelling podcasts, giving voice to often ignored communities and advancing equity. The project is aligned with Biden-Harris administration priorities, in particular the advancement of racial equity and support of underserved communities, outlined by the Executive Order 13985 signed on January 20, 2021. The program will be conducted mostly online and with a duration of at least 3 months, by an educational or journalism training group. The training will focus on (1) the theory, practice and exchange of experiences that includes Brazilian and podcast producers, and (2) a 3-day in-person event, during which the participants will be able to finalize, edit and present their first podcasts, which would be incorporated into a nationwide database made available to media outlets and individual users across the country.
