Pupils of the Frohnleiten middle school design their own radio plays about home

Frohnleiten, Österreich - In Frohnleiten, the topic of “homeland” comes to life! Pupils of the middle school recently have an exciting school project called "Radio Hotel on Air!" participated. This special project found in cooperation with the free Radio Helsinki and the Initiative "Art is great!" Instead of committed to promoting creative projects in the field of education. The young people who are active in the election compulsory subject "Handwerk" have discovered how versatile radio can be and developed into real radiomakers. In this way, they not only sharpened their journalistic skills, but also lived out their creativity.

Under the expert guidance of radio producer Gea Gaçner and the Poetry Slammer Muhammed "Muhi" Dumanli, the students wrote their own texts that act from their personal ideas of home. Inspired by a text from Muhi via Graz, the project encouraged the young people to put their thoughts and experiences on this important topic on paper.

insights into the radio world

But a radio play without a suitable background noise is like a concert without music. Therefore, the students collected noise from their surroundings to alive the texts. A Highlight of the project was a visit to Radio Helsinki in Graz, where the students had the opportunity to record in the studio and to learn from experienced radio professionals. Not only the technology of recording was conveyed, but also how to lead interesting interviews and make a recording exciting.

The results of this creative cooperation will be broadcast in autumn at the “30 Years of Radio Helsinki” festival. The reason enough to appreciate the high priority of radio in the region. Radio Helsinki's “Radio Ministering” series is an excellent example of how the history and development of the radio not only reflects the cultural memory of a city, but also promotes social cohesion. This series deals with the history of Radio Helsinki, which started in 1992 as a pirate broadcaster and became the first legal free radio in Austria in 1995. It shows the importance of a free radio for society and reminds of the exciting stories that are told by the voices of current and former employees: inside and listeners:

How the radio has developed, social relationships about this medium and the changed hearing habits tell a lot about our society. The conversations aim to make a collective radio memory audible and to illustrate the social value of free radios.

The students of the Middle School Frohnleiten not only deepened their understanding of radio with their commitment to the project and its creative streak, but also wrote a piece of cultural history. This energy and inspiration not only inspire your own home love, but also contribute to the cultural diversity of the country.

For all fans of the radio and the creative cultural scene in Austria, listening to the productions of the young talents is worthwhile - it will certainly be exciting!
