ion. It includes tips from Kidz Radio participants; tips from older people; thoughts on participation and power-sharing; guidelines on how to create a healthy environment for learning. Chapter Three explores a range of activities that you can use in your Kidz Radio training. For example: confidence-building games and energisers; activities to release creativity; role plays; tools for teaching children interview skills, presentation techniques, and “writing for the ear”. Chapter Four discusses the most popular formats in Kidz Radio: magazine shows (including drama, storytelling, interviews, radio diaries, jokes and phone-ins); and news (how to report the stories that matter most to young people in your community). Chapter Five is a library of articles, toolkits, handbooks and websites about children's radio – not just in South Africa, but in other parts of the world too." (Page 7)

"FilmAid International (FilmAid) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to use the power of film to promote health, strengthen communities and enrich the lives of the world’s vulnerable and uprooted populations. FilmAid offers programming that aims to facilitate social change by providing co

mmunication tools, information, and opportunities for people to come together to explore, debate, and express ideas. Although other aid organizations have used film as a medium of change and instruction, unlike the FilmAid approach this has generally been ad hoc, irregular, and part of a wider program of interventions. The FilmAid approach is therefore unique and offers an opportunity to conduct a study of the impact of showing films to a refugee population. Apart from an evaluation conducted in 2003 of FilmAid’s own program in Kakuma, Kenya, the authors are not aware of any other formal assessments. Consequently, there is little known regarding the impact of the FilmAid program. Gaining knowledge on this subject will not only assist FilmAid in their operation of programs, but will also provide guidance for other organizations interested in using films as interventions. The purpose of the assessment reported here was to evaluate the impact of the FilmAid International program in the Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kakuma, Kenya. We used a three-phase approach employing both qualitative and quantitative methods. The assessment was led by an independent consultant assisted by faculty at the Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) and the staff of FilmAid." (Executive summary)
