About – RadioAktivizem

RadioActivism

RadioAktivizem is an international project of three independent radio stations: Radio MARŠ (Maribor, Slovenia), Radio Helsinki (Graz, Austria) and Radio Student (Zagreb, Croatia). The core of the project is the production of a series of podcasts on specific sub-topics of environmentalism and climate change, produced by young radio workers, journalists and environmental activists. The podcast series Unpolluted On Air, co-produced by Radio MARŠ, Radio Helsinki and Radio Student, will comprise 40 episodes produced and aired between June 2022 and August 2023. Each radio crew will produce one episode per month, while four special, joint episodes will be done in collaboration of all three radio crews. On a monthly basis, teams of young radio workers will explore a common theme, each in their own local environment. The project is financed by Erasmus+, Movit.
