Radio 1812 jingle - 2.3M

The countdown to the Radio 1812 radio marathon is on. With programmes from across the world produced by local radio stations often in collaboration with migrants organisations, this initiative is organised by December 18 vzw to celebrate International Migrant's Day.

Radio 18-12 is an initiative of December 18, the international advocacy and resource centre on the human rights of migrant workers. It will be the first-ever global one-day radio show connecting migrant communities worldwide to highlight their concerns and celebrate their achievements. Kicking off with broadcasts in Australia, programming on the issue will move across time zones to reach the west coast of the Americas. Why Radio1812? For the past six years, the international community used the 18th of December, International Migrant’s Day, to highlight the human rights of migrants. Last year, groups organised activities in over 30 countries ranging from a rally in Bangladesh to a film festival in Israel. Making migrants’ voices heard is the common thread throughout International Migrant’s Day and this is precisely what is at the heart of Radio 18-12: linking communities worldwide around the pressing and ever present issue of migrants’ rights. What will Radio 1812 do? To provide extra impetus to the activities of International Migrant’s Day, Radio 18-12 encourages broadcasters and migrant organisations to: * Contribute and share with others their existing audio material on migration to the Radio 18-12 website in the months leading up to the 18th of December. * Provide programming and broadcasting on the 18th of December 2006, therefore contributing to the first-ever global migration broadcast marathon.
