Snapshots from the Borders (Season IV: Re:fiction Radio)

Citizen Journalism and beyond

„Citizen journalism“ (also participatory journalism or grassroots journalism) empowers those who live at the grassroots of society and ask the questions from here. Through radio as a „borderless medium“, we reach out to an international audience.

Participation

We invite citizens to become journalists themselves, to participate in our project, to report on experiences in migration, refugee and asylum, education, politics, ecology, social justice, work or everyday life. We want to overcome discrimination through resilience and self-empowerment.

Community Radios

… have gained experience over the years in addressing, organising and involving people with diverse needs. Across all age groups, backgrounds (social, cultural or geographical), interests or personal dispositions.
