Radio voix sans frontières/Radio Voices Without Frontiers : Another 
communication is possible!

 

On March 21st, 2004… tune in to a global community radio broadcast 
against racial discrimination
http://www.amarc.org/vsf

For immediate release

March 17, 2004– There are only five days left before community radio 
stations across five continents will go on air in a unique 21-hour 
broadcast co-production on SUNDAY, MARCH 21st, 2004, known as the UN 
international Day against Racial Discrimination. The day marks the 44th 
anniversary of the Sharpeville massacre, when peaceful demonstrators 
against apartheid were killed in a town in South Africa.

To commemorate the Day Against Racism, Radio voix sans frontièreswill 
feature a mosaic of programs in various languages, with live and 
pre-recorded contributions from countries in Africa, Europe, Asia, 
North and Latin America.

The broadcast will be web streamed on (www.amarc.org/vsf) and relayed 
via the satellite services of Channel Africa, Global Radio (in Europe), 
ALER (in Latin America) and RFA (in Canada). Programs will be 
re-distributed by local community radio stations worldwide.

Here are some highlights of what promises to be the most diverse and 
dynamic RVSF yet:

Asia-Pacific -For the first-time ever, there will be a special 
three-hour broadcast from Asia with contributions from community radio 
stations and producers in Nepal, Sri Lanka, India and the Philippines.

Africa –Working with a team of journalists throughout the African 
continent, RVSF will be broadcast live from the Simbani News Agency of 
AMARC Africa in Johannesburg, South Africa. Programs will feature 
stories on child labour, women and employment, muslims in Africa, 
access to ICTs for community radio, peace building and community radio, 
female genital mutilation, HIV-AIDS and more.

Europe – Hosted by AMISNET in Rome, there will be a special one-hour 
Middle East feed from radio stations in Bethlehem and Hebron. Another 
unique feature is the Link Lusofono, a collaboration between Portuguese 
speakers from community radios in 12 countries.

North America - For the first-time ever, there will be a one-hour 
national feed in French by RFA, and a one-hour feed in Spanish by Radio 
Centre Ville. The English broadcast from KCSB-FM will focus on 
migration issues: stories from the U.S.-Mexico border, discrimination 
towards refugees in Canada, the world-wide trend of anti-immigrant 
legislation. There will also be a special report on the magnitude of 
the global inequities in rights to communicate and the efforts of civil 
society to overcome them.

Latin America -From the broadcast centers of Radio Mundo Real in 
Uruguay in collaboration with Radio Tierra in Chile, the broadcast will 
feature contributions from community radio stations and producers in 
Chile, Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay and more.

The global broadcast Radio voix sans frontières is co-ordinated by the 
AMARC, World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters and will be 
hosted regionally at RFA in Ottawa, Canada; CINQ-FM in Montreal, 
Canada; KCSB-FM in Santa Barbara, U.S.A.; Radio Mundo Real in 
Montevideo, Uruguay; Radio Tierra in Santiago de Chile; AMISNET in 
Rome, Italy; the AMARC Africa Simbani News Agency in Johannesburg, 
South Africa, and AMARC Asia-Pacific in Kathmandu, Nepal.

The year 2004 marks the seventh year of this global community radio
