The Lust for Life audio studio has been created to enable young people in Piteå, Sweden to increase awareness about LGBTQI+ and mental health. The STOFF cultural association built the studio for podcasts and radio theatre with funding from the Smurfit Kappa Foundation and the support of Smurfit Kappa Piteå. The podcast and radio production started in Autumn 2023, giving young people the opportunity to make their voices heard about LGBTQI+, mental health, and other issues that affect their lives.

 

The project called ‘Lust for Life Studio’ focuses on children’s and younger people’s own stories, aiming to educate listeners on their issues and providing them with a channel to share the reality they face every day, thereby creating educational material for them, which has been created by their peers.

"Lust for Life Studio is making a fantastic contribution to the activities that are already taking place in Kulturstationen and is set to become one of the strongest parts of our offering, as we get the opportunity to reach a wider audience". Ulrika Andersson Project Manager at STOFF Kulturförening
