Paraguay
Radio Viva (until recently known as FM Trinidad) began its broadcasts in
1995 as one part of the Communication and Radio Programme of ALTER VIDA,
one of Paraguay's largest environmental organisations. Currently Radio Viva
is a cooperative and citizens' radio dedicated to public service. It
broadcasts 24 hours every day with a variety of programmes, all of them
open to the different sectors of the community. Radio Viva also
collaborates regularly with Red Tesaireka which brings together several
peasant communities stations as well as working directly with the programme
'cooperative neighbourhood' of Paraguay's Council of Churches. This project
is Radio Viva's response to the need for specialised and good quality radio
training aimed at community communicators from rural zones and the
periphery of cities. Radio Viva proposes the creation of a Radio School for
Community Communicators. The aim is to improve the capacity of community
and citizens radio stations by training its current members. It also seeks
to provide this specialised training to new people willing to work in the
area of communication, citizenship and the promotion of people's rights.
The main activities include bi-lingual learning modules in Spanish and
Guarani around professional training as well as equipment maintenance;
dissemination of programmatic content on human right and preparation of a
training manual.
