The Radio Workshop:
Giving Young People a Voice

Welcome to the Radio Workshop!

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.
