Creating Opportunities to Practice Cross-Cultural Interaction
Airs Every Sunday from 9pm – 10:30pm on WOLT 103.3
Our Radio is an opportunity for young people (Ages 14-19) from diverse backgrounds to participate in a weekly radio broadcast targeting listeners of all ages. The program will offer participants an opportunity to work through challenges of cross-cultural differences while gaining the practical experience of implementing a weekly radio program. Although they will have a great deal of autonomy regarding program content, the program must meet the parameters of integrating cross-cultural and diversity issues.
