February 13th has been chosen by UNESCO to celebrate World Radio Day (WRD) and to draw public attention to the great importance of radio, without which many people would not have access to information.



This year, the UNESCO theme for World Radio Day is “Radio in Times of Emergency and Disaster.



On World Radio Day 2016, we invite you, dear friends, to send us short recorded messages on this topic, by e-mail, as audio-attachments, at engl@rri.ro. You can also send us short written messages on the importance of radio in times of disaster by e-mail or to post them on RRIs Facebook page, on Google+, LinkedIn and Tumblr.



The most interesting texts and audio messages will be included in a special program on RRI, around February 13th, 2016.



Also, if you have royalty-free personal photos illustrative of the role played by radio in your life, or about the role of radio in times of emergency and disaster, please send them to us in electronic format, accompanied by the necessary explanations, in order to create a photo gallery on RRIs website and to post them on our social network profiles.
