Powerup

Powerup is an innovative radio application designed specifically for children and adolescents aged 8 to 18. This unique platform empowers young individuals to explore the world of radio broadcasting, encouraging them to produce and present their own programs. The main focus of these broadcasts is on promoting interculturality, children's rights, and anti-racism, topics that are crucial for fostering understanding and respect among diverse groups.

The application hails from the initiatives of the Pestalozzi Children’s Foundation. It not only allows the youngsters to engage directly with media but also ensures they have a voice to articulate their concerns and viewpoints. Such engagement is instrumental in making the youth feel valued and heard. The app provides a comprehensive radio experience, where the produced content is broadcasted on its own FM frequency. This feature amplifies the reach of their voice, allowing family members and other interested listeners to tune in through various mediums including FM broadcasts, cable radio, and even as podcasts at a later time.

One of the standout features of this tool is its interactive functionality. Users can actively participate in the radio program using the in-built audio recorder feature. This tool enhances the interactive experience by enabling listeners to contribute to the program content directly from their devices.

By downloading this platform, individuals provide a creative outlet for young minds and support an initiative that nurtures essential life skills through the power of radio. Whether at home or facilitated in a local Swiss school through the Radiobus initiative, it offers a unique opportunity for personal growth and cultural exchange for young individuals. Enjoy this holistic and empowering broadcasting experience tailored to foster the young voices of tomorrow.
