Project description<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The scope of the project embraces an \u2018edutainment\u2019 aspect making radio a vehicle for educational entertainment. The East Africa Radio Service (EARS), a network of 102 licensed radio stations in Uganda, together with Minibus Media, a video production- and communication-consultancy based in Germany will implement a participatory radio-project aiming at enhancing musical culture and stimulating social as well as political participation and awareness through music and radio broadcasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The network of licensed radio stations in Uganda proposes to do a series of radio shows exploring the musical-essence of the Hip-Hop culture in the country. Hip-Hop has become the most popular musical genres especially within the younger generation in Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The central idea is to give the listening audience a platform for expressing publicly through lyrics and rhymes on human rights related topics (approaching health, environmental issues, electoral education, gender issues etc.) as well as rendering a space for emerging local artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Time travel into fat beats\u2019 aims at producing radio shows in three seasons \u2013 at least 26 shows per season, each show running for 90 minutes. They comprise a compilation of the best known two decades of American and British Hip-Hop scene. Moreover, this radio show format intends to foster listeners to sing\/rap on air. Listeners will have the possibility to vote for their favorite singing\/rapping free style artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main outcome entails empowering participants as agents of their social transformation. The envisioned radio-format shall encourage its audience to interact and switch from a passive into a more pro-active member of society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
