Jasmine：柏林自由音频制作人普遍缺乏交流与合作，各自在家工作，常常感到孤独和缺乏灵感。她希望创建一个非商业化的社区，让制作人们能够一起创作、互相学习、建立联系，暂时摆脱经济压力，专注于创作的乐趣。她组织了Echo音频创作营，邀请了十几位制作人参与，活动中鼓励面对面交流，减少电脑使用时间，专注于头脑风暴和创意写作。活动取得了显著成果，大部分参与者都完成了作品创作，并建立了深厚的友谊。 Marta Medvesek：在Echo创作营中，她克服了搬家和创作瓶颈的困难，完成了作品《Take an Acorn from Your Past Life and Plant It》。这个故事讲述了她与一棵橡树的故事，象征着她对过去创伤的疗愈和对未来的希望。 Phoebe McIndoo：在Echo创作营中，她创作了作品《Red of Visibility》，讲述了她童年遭受性侵犯的创伤经历，以及她如何通过艺术创作来疗愈创伤，重新掌控自己的人生。这个故事以红色为线索，象征着被看见、被疗愈、被赋能的过程。 Jasmine: The Berlin freelance audio producers generally lack communication and collaboration; they work from home individually, often feeling lonely and lacking inspiration. She hopes to create a non-commercial community where producers can create together, learn from each other, build connections, and temporarily escape economic pressure to focus on the fun of creation. She organized the Echo audio creation camp, inviting more than a dozen producers to participate. During the event, face-to-face communication was encouraged, computer use time was reduced, and the focus was on brainstorming and creative writing. The event achieved remarkable results, with most participants completing their works and building deep friendships. Marta Medvesek: In the Echo creation camp, she overcame the difficulties of moving and creative bottlenecks and completed the work "Take an Acorn from Your Past Life and Plant It." This story tells the story of her and an oak tree, symbolizing her healing from past trauma and her hope for the future. Phoebe McIndoo: In the Echo creation camp, she created the work "Red of Visibility," which tells the story of her childhood trauma of sexual assault and how she healed her trauma through artistic creation and regained control of her life. The story uses red as a clue, symbolizing the process of being seen, healed, and empowered.

"To play and to fail and to get to know each other and to celebrate the craft of making audio... What's better than that," Jasmin Bauomy asks. When inspiration struck, Jasmin put together a four-day audio retreat for about a dozen producers from Berlin. She called the retreat "The Ecco" and it yielded some fantastic storytelling.
