WORLD RADIO DAY 2021

 


Proclaimed in 2011 by the Member States of UNESCO, and adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 as an International Day, February 13 became World Radio Day (WRD).

Radio is a powerful medium for celebrating humanity in all its diversity and constitutes a platform for democratic discourse. At the global level, radio remains the most widely consumed medium. This unique ability to reach out the widest audience means radio can shape a society’s experience of diversity, stand as an arena for all voices to speak out, be represented and heard. Radio stations should serve diverse communities, offering a wide variety of programs, viewpoints and content, and reflect the diversity of audiences in their organizations and operations.





 

    CELEBRATIONS IN 2021

    On the occasion of World Radio Day 2021 (WRD 2021), UNESCO calls on radio stations to celebrate this event’s 10th anniversary and the more than 110 years of radio. 

    This edition of WRD is divided into three main sub-themes:

    • EVOLUTION. The world changes, radio evovles. 
      This sub-theme refers to the resilience of the radio, to its sustainability ;
    • INNOVATION. The world changes, radio adapts and innovate. 
      Radio has had to adapt to new technologies to remain the go-to medium of mobility, accessible everywhere and to everyone;
    • CONNECTION. The world changes, radio connects.
      This sub-theme highlights radio’s services to our society—natural disasters, socio-economic crises, epidemics, etc.
