THE ECCO e.V.
Das sagt die Seite:
TLDR: "THE ECCO" is an international non-commercial non-profit initiative designed to tug at the boundaries of the world of audio storytelling, journalism, and documentary work. We bring together talents in different parts of the world — journalists, sound designers, audio producers, sound artists, & writers— all united by a common goal: to push themselves and each other out of their work-related comfort zones and explore the different shapes audio documentaries can take, where they may intersect with art and what impact this kind of playful exploration can have.
Empowering Marginalized Voices: A cornerstone of "THE ECCO" is our dedication to uplifting and amplifying marginalized and sometimes overlooked talent. We care about representation, be it in terms of age, social class, ethnicity, gender, education, neurodivergence, and other facets of our lives. The goal is to find funding to be able to offer THE ECCO retreats to creators in the Global South and developing countries, to offer reduced fees to those who are financially struggling, and maybe even offer a residency in the future. The goal is to foster connections among like-minded people and open up a platform to bring their stories front and center. "THE ECCO" aims to enrich the narrative audio landscape with new perspectives that resonate with a global audience.
Showcasing Talent: Following our retreats, "THE ECCO" hosts listening events that serve as a stage for local communities to experience the fruits of our participants' labor. These events are more than just a showcase; they're a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and the incredible potential of audio to connect us all. Participants gain valuable exposure for their work, earning recognition within and beyond the "THE ECCO" community.
Join Us: "THE ECCO" is more than an initiative; it's a movement toward a more empathetic, inclusive, and innovative narrative content future. If you're ready to be part of this new wave of narrative audio makers, who want to explore the depths of audio artistry and to share their voices with the world, "THE ECCO" welcomes you.
