6. The Young and the Radio

Students from New Jersey, Italy and Zambia talk about their coronavirus experience and how they're dealing with isolation at home (16:50). Thanks to the Eco-Ambassadors program at the Earth Institute's Center for Sustainable Development for organizing this event and Brighton Kaoma for helping to produce this segment. Community radio has the power to bring communities together. Effective communication skills are required to understand and summarize topics. This workshop helped the participants to learn key skills to communicate their personal stories to connect with their peers. Radio helps to “socialize” during the COVID-19 isolation and foster mental health. We plan to use these skills to effectively communicate about local environmental issues.
