Twelve young participants prepare radio programs after participating in the conceptual workshops on social issues as well as technical training conducted by various experts. The programsa re then broadcasted locally and online on the Radio Amed in Kurdish. Also, it is aimed to build a muscial familarity among the listeners by the jingle of the program which is an arrangement of a traditional Kurdish song in the swing jazz style.

It is planned to continue and share the programs online, in written and audio forms, even after the completion of the project.
