"Chapter One focuses on the story of the Kidz Radio Project, and its vision; children's radio in South Africa (case studies and examples); international children's radio initiatives. Chapter Two is a market-place of ideas from kids, mentors and teachers who work in the field of children's participation. 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)
