Producing a radio programme

Abstract

With thirteen nationwide radios and six long-term community radios on the island your class may come across the opportunity to produce a radio programme. Or else, your school may want to emulate Mosta Girls' Secondary School, "Lily of the Valley", who set up a community radio called "Radio Lilium". The station, run by the students, transmits daily during the week, throughout the school breaks and early in the morning. It was inaugurated on March 27, 2000, by the President of Malta Professor Guido de Marco. Such a radio can have a temporary (one month) or a long-term (one-year, renewable) licence. Such stations are set up to keep in touch with the community surrounding the school, raise funds for a particular school project or just to express its voice. In each case, school democracy is deeply strengthened.
