Hi!
I am tech leader of Polish Youth Radio http://bieszczady.fm/. We are successful using in our radio Airtime with few custom modification which ale mainly oriented in live streaming.
Some description about project:
The project's participants are a group of young, creative people from Poland, consisting of hobby-journalists, programmers, promoters and organisers. The subject of the project is a regional Internet radio. We create the open form, without participation criteria; it is enough that each person wants to work in the team in the estabilished rules. We activate the youth, help them in the developing of their talents and passions. Our target is to enrich and facilitate citizens' lives. Our radio have portal - http://bieszczady.fm, forum, live chat, community pages, e-mails, through which the listeners can be able to co-produce the programmes. Thanks to the great popularity of the Internet we are able to reach a wide group of receivers.
We want to shape the consciousness of European citizenship and develop the intercultural tolerance by presenting other countries traditions, linguistic programmes, education about other EU countries. The radio provides opportunity of practical information distribution, eg. about cultural events, actions, matches; also about job market. We want to to deal with current problems regarding our region. The air time is filled with music and our programmes, talks and reportages. The activation of youth (both participating and benefiting), our work will result in the development of passions and collecting experience useful in future work.
Our activities break the stereotype of unprospective, unambitionous young people.
