Community Media for Development/ CMFD Productions was present at the 5th World Summit on Media for Children from 25-27 March. Working with a group of children at the summit, we produced a series of radio programmes to provide an opportunity for young voices to be heard, while reaching a wider audience with the issues that were being addressed during the summit.
Working in groups of 2-4, the volunteer participants were a young dynamic group that put together some very creative programmes focusing on globalisation and the internet. The programmes include voices from South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Trinidad, United States, Mozambique, Brazil, Angola, Haiti, and Angola. The process brought together young people speaking various languages.
 CMFD used a participatory approach to creating the programmes. Ideas based on the conference theme s were presented to the group, but the young people were encouraged to develop their own ideas and explore the issues how they felt besr. Each team worked through the ideas, and then found interviewees. Once the interviewed a number of people, they then developed narrative scripts to glue the programme together.
 These were all recorded on site in CMFD’s mobile production studio. The programmes were then edited and produced with funky music and sound effects.
