Bringing Communities into Radio [EurEvalRadio Part 1]

From the Community Radios perspective it’s a challenge to engage Communties at the Radio. Sounds contradictory?

After many years of radiowork so called Community Radios (Free Radios in german speaking countries) may ask themselves if they are able to engage Communities in their Programme in a large scale? Second big question is if Community Radios provide a ground where Communities can communicate to strengthen their activities, their identities and discuss their diversity.

The rich experiences to answer these questions come from Athlone (Irland), Bradford (England), Novaradio (Italia), Radio Student (Slowenia), Radio Enlace (Spain), COMMIT und Radio Helsinki (Austria).
