Community Airwaves for Dialogue: Stories of Change

Kathmandu: AMARC Asia-Pacific (2025), iv, 24 pp.
"As highlighted through the stories in this publication, the role of community radio extends beyond information dissemination; it is a catalyst for constructive dialogue and a beacon of hope for conflict resolution. These narratives highlight how community radio acts as a bridge, bringing together diverse voices and perspectives, fostering mutual understanding, and promoting peaceful solutions to complex issues. By providing an inclusive platform for open communication, community radio empowers individuals and communities to engage in meaningful discussions, address grievances, and collaboratively work towards harmony and reconciliation. As we celebrate these achievements, we are reminded of the ongoing need to nurture and strengthen this vital medium to address future challenges and opportunities in the pursuit of dialogue and peace."
