AGORA on Radio For Peace International: the voice of the world's youth in service of peace

AGORA on Radio For Peace International: the voice of the world's youth in service of peace

The International Federation of Young Citizens (IFYC) announces the official launch of AGORA , an innovative monthly radio program dedicated to international news, civic engagement and intercultural dialogue.

Broadcast on shortwave by Radio For Peace International (15770 kHz, every 3rd Sunday of the month from 1pm to 2pm UTC), AGORA is part of a strong initiative: to make the voices of the world's youth heard while actively contributing to a culture of peace and understanding between peoples.

Through this partnership, Radio For Peace International affirms its commitment to open,  accessible and peace-oriented information , by supporting a youth-led initiative aimed at bringing civil societies closer together internationally.

A global space for free and engaged expression Each month, AGORA gives a voice to engaged young people from all continents. Far from dominant media narratives, they share their local realities and initiatives.

The ambition is clear: to circulate authentic testimonies, create bridges between cultures and encourage constructive dialogue between citizens and institutions.

As Gaëtan Guerin, head of the Radio department at FIJC, points out: "AGORA is first and foremost a collective adventure, where everyone grows thanks to others and where ideas circulate to bring forth a

richer discourse."

With AGORA, the FIJC affirms its commitment to building an international media outlet by and for young people, capable of bringing together different perspectives and fostering a global and inclusive public debate.

A strong editorial line

The name AGORA, inspired by ancient Greece, embodies a place of debate, exchange and living democracy. This choice reflects the core values upheld by the FIJC:

pluralism of information

freedom of expression

international opening

pedagogy and intercultural dialogue

A structured, bilingual and international program

Lasting one hour, AGORA consists of two parts:

a first part in French

a second part in English, produced in partnership with Radio For Peace International , in order to broaden its global audience.

The show is structured around various segments:

The World in Brief : Little-Known International News

Outstanding : Portraits and interviews with committed actors

Society Chronicle : Analysis of contemporary issues

Echoes from the countryside : perspectives from rural areas

Histo Tempo : cultural and musical exploration

Diplomatic gossip : accessible decoding of international relations

A project led by young people

AGORA is produced by the Radio department of the FIJC. The program is produced by a team of students from the Lille School of Journalism (ESJ Lille), from different levels of training, from second year to master's level. 

The recordings take place in the studios of Radio Campus Lille, a key partner in the project, which supports the show in its production and broadcasting.

About the FIJC

The International Federation of Young Citizens is an official UNESCO club and the 61st observer member of the 2005 UNESCO Convention. ( https://fijc.org/ ).

RFPI starts a new broadcast channel towards Iran

In a significant development: RFPI has announced the launch of a new broadcast frequency for Iran. 

Programs will now also be available on 9330 kHz, every day from 1700 - 1730 UTC, with a power of 100 kW.

Behind this technical announcement lies a crucial issue: enabling thousands of people to access free and independent information.

In a country where access to information is restricted, each broadcast we air is much more than a radio program. It's an open window, a link to the world, an opportunity to understand, to reflect, to remain free.

Radio Mashaal & RFERL’s North Macedonia Service to close down on 31st March '26

RFE/RL’s North Macedonia Service (@RSE_Makedonski) and Pashto-language service, Radio Mashaal (@MashaalRadio) will close on March 31, 2026.

RFE/RL President & CEO @SteveCapus :

“The closure of these two services is a loss for the audiences they serve. But RFE/RL’s current budgetary environment compels us to reprioritize how we distribute our resources. This decision was made with a profound appreciation for the work these teams have done, and the standard of excellence they have upheld.”
