Dear Silvana, I have been reading your email with interest, and wondered if you know about our OneWorld Radio SEE project in Albanian - because there are some parallels between what we are both doing, and there is possibly an opportunity to work together in promoting human rights. Please have a look at the attached information and get back to me if you think it would be useful. Basically we have set up a human rights radio exchange project on the Web at www.oneworld.net/radio/see, in Albanian, Macedonian, Serbian and English, with more regional languages to follow. Its for the free exchange of programming, and on the Albanian language side we have members in Albania, Kosova and Macedonia, and want to develop the membership base and share on-air human rights programming as widely as possible. We are also investigating the establishment of a regional OneWorld centre to link NGOs, using local languages rather than just English.

ONEWORLD RADIO SOUTHEAST EUROPE What is OneWorld Radio Southeast Europe? OneWorld Radio Southeast Europe (formerly known as Balkan Link) is an audio exchange service on the internet that enables radio stations and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the region of Southeast Europe to share their audio material on local issues, human rights, civil society and democracy. Visitors to the internet site www.oneworld.net/radio/see can listen to these programmes, and registered members of OneWorld Radio Southeast Europe can upload and download programmes from and to this site. Why an audio exchange? Using an internet based exchange system enables radio stations to exchange programmes quickly and at no cost, and can result in a far larger audience, as more than one station or organisation has access to the programme over the website, as well as website audiences. What kind of programmes are on OneWorld Radio Southeast Europe? The programmes are varied - but they all fit under the umbrella of promoting human rights, mutual respect and democratic processes. OneWorld Radio Southeast Europe does not carry propaganda, hate speech or programming that encourages violence. Programmes are classified under eighty topics, grouped in nine broad categories: - Human Rights and Civil Society - Politics & Governance - Information & Media - Society - Economics & Business - Health & Science - International Themes - Our Natural and Man-made World - War & Peace Who started OneWorld Radio Southeast Europe, and who funds it? OneWorld Radio Southeast Europe is a project of OneWorld International, which has pioneered a number of radio exchange projects over the internet. OneWorld www.OneWorld.net is the leading network in the world dedicated to issues of global justice and sustainable development. OneWorld Radio Southeast Europe is funded by Hivos, www.Hivos.nl the Humanist Institute for Cooperation with Developing Countries, based in the Netherlands. Hivos is funding OneWorld Radio Southeast Europe in recognition of the need to support the free exchange of information in the Southeast Europes region. What languages are used? OneWorld Radio Southeast Europe has four languages in its first phase (English, Albanian, Macedonian and Serbian). In the next few months the remaining languages of the region of Southeast Europe will be added. The initial choice of languages is based on a decision to begin the project in the Eastern portion of the Southeast Europe region in Albania, Macedonia, Kosovo, Serbia, Montenegro and Vojvodina. ............................................................................

We work together to provide the best, the biggest and the most up-to-date news and information service for people interested in understanding what is happening in the world and often goes unreported by the mainstream media. Since its inception six years ago, the gateway to the OneWorld community, the supersite www.OneWorld.net, has grown exponentially. It now carries over 1.5 million pages of text, images, video and sound and delivers them to millions of people around the world. Edited in ten OneWorld centers across the globe and updated twenty-four hours a day, OneWorld.net also has the web's premier search engine on global issues allowing users to find the content they want on what matters most to them. OneWorld’s innovative use of internet technology has created wholly new sorts of collaboration. Our partner organizations range from global institutions like CARE and UNICEF to grassroots projects in the South tackling local hardship head all. They all use www.OneWorld.net to share ideas, to reach the public, to express solidarity and to take part in the global debate about building a better future for the planet and its peoples. The OneWorld.net audience is just as diverse: policy-makers and social entrepreneurs, NGO workers, journalists and concerned members of the public from all walks of life. People come to OneWorld.net because it offers an authoritative overview of a huge range of perspectives and issues, and because everyone is invited to join the global debate and find out more about what action they can take to work towards sustainability and ensuring human rights for all. We are the world's favorite portal for people who want to make a difference. _ OneWorld Radio began in 1997 with a service offering the broadcasting community a unique opportunity to take part in radio programme exchanges across the globe. Ever since the invention of radio as a medium, broadcasters have been challenged with the problem of transferring audio material over long distances between studios, stations and journalists in the field. OneWorld’s internet platform introduced audio content sharing about human rights, development and the environment that was free and available worldwide. OneWorld Radio has included many radio stations based in Africa, Asia and Lain America as well as UN agencies and NGOs like Amnesty International. Now OneWorld Radio Southeast Europe becomes the first OneWorld audio service focused within Europe but part of a growing global network of communicators harnessing the internet progressively. ======== Global Human Rights Education listserv ======== Send mail intended for the list to <hr-education@hrea.org>.
