The Radio Workshop:
Giving Young People a Voice

Welcome to the Radio Workshop!

Valentine’s Day took a different turn this year. A global awareness campaign called “One Billion Rising” used the day of love and romance to protest sexual violence against women and children through dance and street action. Ten girls from the Ons Plek project in Cape Town, turned up the volume on the campaign theme song and danced to say NO to rape and sexual violence against women and children.

Welcome to the Radio Workshop!

A group of young reporters from Manenberg took to the streets of Cape Town’s inner city for a very special tour. They explored the too often forgotten history of slavery and how it shaped the city and the identity of its residents, past and present. Their guides, Lucy Campbell and Ferdi James Van Tura, brought to life the stories of suffering, resilience and hope of the slaves of the Cape.
The tour started at the auction block, the very spot where slaves were sold and through a role play, Ferdi gave the young reporters a taste of what it must have felt like to go through this traumatic process.

According to UNICEF statistics, three million youth aged 15 – 24 are infected with HIV and AIDS in Africa. The Children’s Radio Foundation conducted radio trainings in Zambia where youth discussed this burning issue. They share their stories about how the disease touches their lives. They created Public Service Announcements and took to the streets to get youth opinions.

Welcome to the Radio Workshop!

Unhappy about something in life? Complaining is usually the next thing we do. When our rights have been violated we complain, often through protest. When we get bad service we complain. When our relationships are troubled, yes, we complain. The Radio Workshop got an earful about what is weighing on the minds of many South Africans.
