Be part of the World Radio Day 2024

UNESCO is celebrating World Radio Day, along with us who were invited as a radio station to participate in the action. It was an open call to the radio industry so that we could all talk about the uniqueness of this medium for 100 years and discuss its evolution in the next century. We have declared ourselves open to collaboration with other stations around the world and we are already preparing an exchange of radio material with the French radio station https://www.rvvs.fr/

What role did radio play in history in these important areas? What does radio mean to us? Why is it different from other media? Even now that technology has changed a lot in a few years, as a medium it remains there for many reasons, but now it has to face new challenges. UNESCO’s World Radio Day 2024 announcement reminds us of its timeless value. But, at the same time, it worries us. The motto this year is: “Radio: A Century of Information, Psychology and Education”. Discover the network of radio stations taking part in the action through the World Radio Day map.

In the February 13 radio program, we plan to broadcast special programs dedicated to Radio Day. You too can book and send us a show. In the educational program, we will have a special live show that day at 11.00, from the Music School of Veria, and a surprise band that will play live. The program’s Student Radio & Podcast Group will take over for a live music show, to which we invite you!

In what way?

1. By sending us in the Forum (https://community.europeanschoolradio.eu/el/groups/studio-esr/) your favorite song that contains the word “radio” in the lyrics in any language you want or refers to the medium of radio!
