RadioActive101 Practices

In keeping with the overarching RadioActive101 (RA101) spirit and ethos, this report is the product of collaborative and joined-up thinking from within the European consortium spread across five countries. As such, it is not simply a single voice reporting on the experiences and knowledge gained during the project. Rather it is a range of different voices, coming together to create a holistic picture. The reason for this is straightforward, because whilst RA101 engages those whose voices go unheard, the contexts in which this happens are unique to each partner country. It would not be possible to capture fully the rich and diverse experiences of each radio-activist in every country if this had been written from one country's perspective. In fact, such an approach would have been completely at odds with the notion of ensuring that every voice is of value and needs to be heard. Please note that this is a practical guide, for more extensive and academic accounts of RadioActive101, see Ravenscroft et al., 2014a, 2014b, 2014c. As a way of highlighting the participation, the table below demonstrates the different environments in which the work of RA101 takes place.
