Students from St George's International School Luxembourg have set up a new radio show, "Pass the Mic", aimed at battling social isolation during the current COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis.
A team of three 14-15 year-old GCSE Media students (Year 10) have launched a new 10-episode show for Radio Ara with the aim of battling social isolation by sharing messages from within St George's school community and beyond.
The first hour-long show aired yesterday afternoon and the second show will be presented by the students from their homes today at 16:00. Another eight shows are scheduled to follow.
The radio show concept is simply bringing people together. These shows include a comedy battle challenge, children's books excerpt readings, music for all ages and a range of messages - the team have already received around 80 song requests and messages from students, staff, parents and friends/family for the first two episodes. Future shows will also feature some reflection on how the crisis is impacting politics around the globe by Year 10 Politics students.
Pass the Mic can be listened to on Radio Ara (102.9 and 105.2 FM; 102.0 on most cable networks) and online (globally) at http://stream.ara.lu/stream.mp3 or https://ara.lu/listen.html.
