Students trained to work in the campus radio in Rwanda
Two-week training for 26 students of the National University of Rwanda on radio journalism ended in Butare on 18 November 2005 with a graduation ceremony in the presence of the Rwandan Minister of Information.
The training was organised within the framework of the UNESCO project on establishing the first university/community radio in Rwanda (Radio Salus), funded by the Funds in Trust from Japan.
The training covered, among other areas:
* field recording techniques,
* microphone usage,
* post-production editing,
* writing,
* programming and
* personal management.
24 participants were chosen from the second, third and fourth years of the School of Journalism and Communication; two students - from the faculty of law. In the follow up, the trainees will be involved in the production of the recently launched radio Salus for a period of eight months. Their work in the radio will be supported with a monthly grant from the project.
"I was impressed by the fact that even very young students are aware of the legacy of the media role during the genocide: they want to understand and to move beyond", said the trainer Michelle Betz.
"I will go around asking peasants what they think about womens conditions and then go to interview authorities" declared one of the trainees, Eupene Kwibuica, whose intention is to produce a programme about gender development for Radio Salus.
