Podcasts: a new way to learn

This year, Albert Camus School in Fécamp took on a challenge that was both ambitious and original: introducing students to the world of educational podcasting. Led by the school’s teaching staff and supported by the association @Art en Sort, the project came to life thanks to the co-funding of the OLVEA Foundation, which enabled the school to acquire professional audio equipment (microphones, headsets, mixing consoles…).

The goal? To give children a fresh, engaging way to learn, express themselves, write, and collaborate. The podcast format—both creative and immersive—proved to be an ideal tool to spark their imagination while developing essential cross-disciplinary skills.

Throughout the school year, several classes created full podcast episodes from scratch, focusing on historical figures or reimagined stories:

🎧 Léon Dufour, founder of La Goutte de Lait

🎧 Anita Conti, France’s pioneering oceanographer

🎧 A modern retelling of the Bluebeard fairy tale

🎧 A sound-rich reinterpretation of The Brave Little Tailor

These student productions are being showcased throughout the summer in Fécamp’s public libraries and at the Les Pêcheries Museum, offering well-deserved recognition to these young, budding podcasters.

This initiative perfectly reflects the OLVEA Foundation’s mission: supporting meaningful local projects that focus on education, culture, and inclusion.

Beyond the technical learning, the students experienced a true human adventure—learning to listen, organize their ideas, and speak confidently in public. All essential skills they’ll carry with them into the future.
