Once a tool of division during apartheid, radio is now a means to bring millions of people together. The vast majority of Africans get news and information via radio. Radio requires minimal technical expertise, so young people are able to learn production and broadcast skills easily. Learning how to interview, research and produce a radio program empowers youth, and builds their confidence, communication skills and critical thinking.
Since its founding by Elizabeth Sachs in South Africa in 2006, The Children’s Radio Foundation has created a network of over 3500 trained youth radio reporters across seven countries in Africa, who broadcast in 21 languages on local and national radio stations to 9.7 million listeners and via social media.
The Children’s Radio Foundation (CRF) works in Ivory Coast, Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, Zambia, South African, Senegal and Guinea-Bissau, partnering with radio stations, schools, youth centers, and community-based organizations to train youth to use radio as a tool for dialogue and development on resonant issues, including HIV/AIDS, the environment, violence and safety, education, teenage relationships, and today COVID-19.
Bonnie Curran Memorial Lecture
“Women’s reproductive health and rights must be safeguarded,” said UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Natalia Kanem. “Services must continue, supplies must be delivered and the vulnerable must be protected and supported.”
The COVID-19 crisis and UNFPA’s response will be the topic of Dr. Kanem’s keynote speech for The Bonni Curran Memorial Lecture, opening the 13th annual Family of Woman Festival, September 8, streaming through The Community Library. Festival films will be shown September 9 through 13 via the Library’s streaming service.
