COPEAM’s Radio Commission strategically partners with international events in order to organize special radio broadcasts on-site, meetings with guests and participants from festivals, congresses, and international happenings. Relying on the weekly magazines developed under COPEAM’s aegis, this win-win practice offers Mediterranean and international coverage to organizers and brings together journalists who work throughout the year from their home countries.
In September, Mediterradio, the magazine of the Mediterranean islands, temporarily left its island base for the Apulia region (Italy) to participate in LectorInFabula, the main cultural event of the city of Conversano. On this occasion, special issues were recorded in public and outdoors in the heart of the city. In one of the episodes realized on-site, local and regional administrators discussed the links between culture and territory, addressing topics such as the access to culture, policies for young people, the concept of proximity, and the importance of dialogue and diversity for an inclusive cultural future.
A second episode – featuring, among others, Claudio Cappon, Secretary General of COPEAM – focused on the role of the Mediterranean, the evolution of radio over a hundred years of broadcasting in Italy, and the place of women in society.
At the invitation of the European program EIT Urban Mobility, journalists from Kantara and Mediterradio – Inés Azagra Prego (RNE) and Paul Antoine Squarcini (Radio France) – participated in the Tomorrow Mobility World Congress (TMWC), held in Barcelona in early November, dedicated to “Smart Cities” and sustainable mobility issues.
The congress brought together over 25.000 participants from 130 countries, including experts, companies and public institutions, to discuss the challenges and solutions related to sustainable urban mobility. As a real exchange platform, the TMWC emphasized technological innovation and international cooperation to transform mobility models.
It was an opportunity for our radio journalists to explore important topics, such as, for Mediterradio, the challenges and specificities of island contexts in the global transformation of means of transportation and, for Kantara, the adaptability and relevance of the suggested solutions for cities in Southern Europe and in the MENA region.
