Radio 1812
With Radio 1812, December 18 provides a platform for celebrating International Migrants Day. This unique and innovative international radio event connects migrant communities worldwide and brings together radios from around the globe in a one-day event that celebrates migrants’ achievements and highlights their concerns.
December 18 will continue to gradually expand its role as initiator and coordinator by adding new features such as the production of its own audio; expanding the event into a year-round initiative; provide opportunities for young journalists to gain experience. December 18 will also develop the Radio 1812 site into a key space for sharing audio material and will establish a prize for the best audio documentary on migration issues.
In 2009, 175 radio stations from 48 countries took part in the fourth edition of the Radio 1812 event. You can listen to a short compilation by clicking here.
