Oral Testimony - Life History Radio Programme Concluded
[3.3.2004 | ]
UNESCO and the Panos Institute West Africa (PIWA) have just concluded the "Oral Testimony" training and production project, resulting in 12 radio documentaries produced and broadcast through some 300 community radio stations in eight Western African countries.
Oral testimonies are radio documentaries that treat several topics depicting different ethnic and religious groups: how they interface, integrate and reconcile in a changing environment. The methodology of oral testimony is based on a specific interview method using testimonies of the local populations.
The training and production project focused on the life of young people in a complex and multicultural surrounding. Through the radio programmes, the views of the young people themselves, often ignored by traditional urban media, are expressed. The main objective of the initiative was to increase intercultural awareness and sensitising young generations on humanity?s need for tolerance, dialogue and peace.
The project was supported within the framework of UNESCO?s international venture ?Intensifying the Dialogue among Communities, Cultures and Civilizations?.
