What is the next step in using media for peacebuilding? Radio dramas, no! Radio magazines, NO! Blending a magazine and drama format, YES! What could be better than having listeners become engrossed in a plot and then create opportunities for them to share what excited them about the latest episode?
This is the new direction that Tomorrow is a New Day is going. We’ve learned that even if a radio drama’s topics touch listeners, the best way to connect with the audience, is through audience interaction.
We have added two new episodes of Sweet Motherland Radio to the site.
Check out Episode 4: I no gree, e dey tear shirt, and Episode 5: No problem nai kill native doctor pikinhere.
This week a five-day Common Ground Advocacy Training-of-Trainers (ToT) was held in Port Harcourt. Programming staff from CEHRD, NIDPRODEV, SDN, SFCG and a representative from ARDA were trained.
They are now ready to head to the seven communities to train women and youth leaders to engage in their community’s decision-making process.
It recounts the story of people living in the Niger Delta and the challenges that their communities face. These challenges range from issues of unemployment, to environmental degradation and inter-communal clashes. The radio series is produced by ARDA.
There are many issues contributing to the instability in the Niger Delta. The common thread between them is oil. The people of the region have voiced many objections over the years but the primary complaint is that the oil pumped from their lands enriches the nation at a high cost for residents.
