Children to raise the voice for better quality of education

A new web radio platform for and with children will be launched soon. The Underadio platform aims to encourage children to express openly and speak out on issues that concern them in school, family and community. Children who will manage and organize the radio programs are members of the Child led Groups who actively operate to promote children's rights in Elbasan, Tirana, Durres, Peshkopi and Burrel.

This new intervention for children is part of the education program supported by Save the Children which aims to increase participation levels of children at school, family and community by using web radio as a tool for children to express freely, reach and influence wider audience and enhance life skills. Implementation of this action will built upon the existing good practices of empowering Children Governments (CG), Child Led Groups (CLG) and children in street situation. Consulted for the purpose of this action design, children listed several problems they face with but identified as a common root cause the low level of participation and non consideration of children potential at school, family and community at large. These groups of children come from different backgrounds but meaningful participation is what lacks for them to be able to influence and tackle challenges like violence at school, discrimination, poor infrastructure at school, poor quality of services in the health system, children exposure to unhealthy behaviors etc.
