Introducing School Radio
April 2019: The ability to communicate effectively enables children to articulate well, makes them confident and opens various opportunities for them in the future.
In a one of its kind initiative, Bharti Foundation has organized School Radio Workshops for students of government schools in Telangana.
Starting from experiencing team work, improving literacy to building confidence and improving communication skills, the concept of school Radio helps developing many qualities which can influence the behavior and personality development in a student thereby contributing to the holistic development.
The students who are good at communication used zero hours (lunch time) to encourage and engage as many students as possible in the school radio activity. On a daily basis, at least 10 students from a class assemble in the room, where each chooses a topic to speak on the radio. From reciting poems to singing songs, reading news, making announcements and more, the students began to use the platform to the most to express themselves, with confidence.
