The Podcast Program at Sekolah Tunas Indonesia (STI) is a dynamic, student-led initiative that unites primary, junior high, and senior high students to create engaging, educational content. Supervised by teachers, the program empowers young voices to explore current affairs, share knowledge, and connect with influential figures while developing essential 21st-century skills like communication, critical thinking, and collaboration. Students from all grade levels collaborate, with older students mentoring younger ones in roles such as hosting, editing, and production, while younger students contribute creative ideas and assist with research. The podcast covers diverse topics, including current events, educational tips, science, technology, history, and personal stories, alongside interviews with leaders and educators, offering listeners valuable insights and inspiration.
Participation in the program helps students hone public speaking, active listening, and technical skills like audio editing and scriptwriting. It also fosters leadership, teamwork, and creative freedom, allowing students to express their passions and take ownership of their learning. Teachers provide guidance to ensure content quality and professionalism, while the podcast’s availability on platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube extends its reach to a global audience. By addressing topics relevant to students, parents, and educators, the program strengthens community connections and showcases STI’s commitment to innovation and student empowerment. More than an extracurricular activity, the podcast is a transformative tool that prepares students to become informed, articulate, and confident individuals ready to make a meaningful impact on the world.
