13 Oct Sfan­tu Ghe­o­rghe: Radio Civic lis­ten­ers receive free radio sets

In Sep­tem­ber 2020, as part of the GR Project, the locals from Sfan­tu Ghe­o­rghe vil­lage, in the Danube Delta, received free radio sets so that they can lis­ten to the radio shows cre­at­ed for them by com­mu­ni­ty vol­un­teers. In this vil­lage, one of the two com­mu­ni­ty radio sta­tions estab­lished in Roma­nia broad­casts, Radio Civic Sfan­tu Ghe­o­rghe 89.9 FM.

The geo­graph­i­cal iso­la­tion of this vil­lage, as well as the lack of radio sets, made many of the locals lose the habit of lis­ten­ing to radio shows. Now, hav­ing their own com­mu­ni­ty radio sta­tion as well as the nec­es­sary receivers, we believe that this cus­tom will revive and con­tribute to the devel­op­ment of com­mu­ni­ca­tion, trans­paren­cy and democ­ra­ti­za­tion of the com­mune’s life.
