Call for ideas and projects!
18 April 2013

The Euroradio Development Fund was initially set up in 2001 to allow the Euroradio Committee a degree of flexibility in encouraging, supporting and benchmarking new program initiatives outside of the normal budgetary process. The Fund aims at reviving and encouraging collaborative projects among Members for the sake of more diverse program content. Now the Fund is back in action again, replenished by decision of the Euroradio Committee.
The latest project, La Via della Plata, followed a journey on the Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostela, and its goal was to transmit different programs produced in cooperation with six Italian speaking radio stations. Two speakers took turns walking from Seville to Santiago de Compostela, for one week each, during six weeks (2 May-12 June 2011). Every day, they sent by phone their spoken journal to be broadcast by each radio station in an appropriate format, and a Website was also created for this occasion: http://laviadellaplata.blog.rai.it/
