Participatory Youth Radio.

Uganda has the world's youngest population with over 78 per cent of its population below the age of 30. With more than 200 radio stations, Radio continues to provide great opportunities to communicate with young people who are also the majority radio consumers in Uganda. Despite the opportunity, the Majority of radio presenters are young adults talking to young people and not with them or even letting them speak for themselves. Radio presenters assume that young people are only consumers of music and entertainment and are less interested in participating in conversations about unemployment and other social ills that affect them. The Concept of Youth Participatory Radio presents an opportunity to media students and practitioners to use Radio formats that engage youths in conversation about issues affecting them and their communities.
