Giras Fabulosas

accessible podcasts at the university

Abstract

This text is an experience report of the Giras Fabulosas university extension project, developed since 2022 on a campus of a public faculty of ducation, located on Baixada Fluminense. Since its inception, the project has aimed to produce inclusive sound media, through podcasts recorded on university radio and broadcast via online streaming platforms, with activism in favor of the visibility and recognition of disability. Sound narratives are produced, with student leadership, aimed at sharing research carried out in undergraduate and postgraduate studies in an accessible way and for a diverse audience, university and/or the external community. We pursue the question: is it possible to create sound media with accessibility? From this, we took the study of podcasts and accessibility to a course in the Pedagogy degree, integrating extension and teaching. We listened to and studied podcasts produced by people with disabilities in Brazil and incorporated thinking/doing in the extension with accessibility resources, such as: describing the participants, describing the images made for dissemination on social media of the extension project and transcribing the whole episodes. These movements contributed to initial teacher training with new technologies, such as sound medias, developing them as social technologies, with planning, study practices, writing and communication, political engagement, appreciation of disability and accessibility at the university.
