Creating Positive Change through Youth-led Radio

Nilza, a 17-year-old radio drama listener in Mozambique, shares how the program has changed her life.

Ouro Negro da Malta is a radio program produced by teens to promote discussions and improve understanding among teens and young people on topics that range from dealing with peer pressure and gender equity to health and sexual health.

While the radio dramas are fictional, the guest call-in shows bring the reality of teens and the wider range of listeners into the studio. During the program, teens share their knowledge and experiences, and they make decisions about the various themes and issues addressed in the radio dramas.
