Radio, Youth and Peace - training the trainers
Ten radio producers from local radio stations in Rwanda, Burundi and Congo gathered in Bujumbura for a course on youth radio and peace building.
The training was organised by Search for Common Ground in Burundi and RNTC, and aimed to provide knowledge and skills to train other radio producers who are working with children and youth on peace issues. The trainees took part in workshops on Radio, Youth and Peace, on radio skills and on training. A follow-up has been planned to assess progress in the work of the trainees and provide support for their activities at their stations in 2007.

Thanks to RNTC for sharing its knowledge. It has helped us a lot to reinforce
our 29 years old network of small cultural radio stations in rural areas of
Costa Rica, and to develop a valuable distance education project through it.
