Armenian Radio launches EBU supported youth portal

Public Radio of Armenia has launched a web portal, with the help of the EBU, that will connect producers and audiences of radio programmes targeted at young people across Europe.

The LyunSe International portal aggregates current affairs stories from youth radio programmes across Europe and encourages interaction through a set of specialised forums. The portal’s development was supported by the EBU Partnership Programme and developed in Yerevan and Geneva through a scholarship awarded to journalist Gohar Adamyan. 

Adamyan, who directs the website, works on a daily show in Yerevan for young people called LyunSe. The show presents stories from across Armenia that reflect environmental, cultural and social issues. The new project was inspired when the production team observed a growing international awareness of the programme.

"We realise that increasingly our listeners are facing the same situations and problems as in other countries, and, with LyunSe International we aim to give them an international perspective on some of these topics," Adamyan says.

The Lyunse team marked the portal’s official launch by filming a Christmas video.

The EBU Media Department’s Matthew Trustram served as mentor to Adamyan during development of the project, which was presented in Turin at the Multimedia Meets Radio conference in September 2012.
