Radio "Reaction" is an online radio, which consists of around 30 students. We are still not registered as an NGO, but we are trying to do this now.

The main idea of Radio "Reaction" is to give young people the ability to practice in a real media environment. We work with many other Bulgarian organisations, media, artists and musicians.
Mission and Objectives

We want to create an environment of free speech, bright ideas, young and passionate journalists. In the world we live in, it is hard to find an independent media. That is why we decided to create an online radio that will not be influenced by the mainstream media. We have what to say and now we have a place where to say it in front of the public. The radio is also a good platform for youngsters to practice in a real functioning media.

Main Projects / Activities

The radio has a daily program, which includes radioshows of various topics - culture, music, arts, politics and social issues, sports, etc. We also have a nice selection of music, when there are no shows on air.

Mission and Objectives

Our aim is to awaken a strong sense of togetherness in regard to humanity and the environment in which we all live. We wish to create awareness within societies that there is nothing that truly separates us. We believe we have to overcome the narrow-mindedness and bigotry often present in the world today and follow the examples of those people and organizations, past and present, who put global priorities before their own.
The Association for a Better World is a NGO (Non-governmental organization), a non-political organization dedicated to everyone in society. Therefore, our goal is to enhance the awareness of human values in order to improve the quality of life and mutual relationships in all areas of life. We do this by cooperating with kindergartens, primary, junior, senior schools, retirement homes, individuals and organizations, in both Slovenia and worldwide. A very important part of our approach is the humanitarian aspect, which we have developed over several years and intend to expand in the future. The corner stone of our work is that empathy and concern for other people should become a natural quality in everyone’s life.

Main Projects / Activities

For kindergarten children, school pupils, students, teachers, parents and elderly in Slovenian educational institutions we organize:
24 different workshops
25 different educational theatre plays
16 different lectures for parents
12 different seminars for teachers
During the schools year 2010/11 we cooperated with 250 schools (1906 pedagogical hours), which makes us one of the more active organizations in this field in Slovenia.
Also, we created and published printed teaching materials:
3 textbooks for teaching human values
6 educational fairy tales for children and adults
75 editions of our e-monthly newsletter for education, school and humanitarian work
International cooperation: in the regular project Together we create a better world are included 11 schools from Serbia, 3 schools from England, 4 schools from India, 4 schools from Bosnia and Herzegovina and 15 schools from Kenya.
Foundation for a better world (created in 2010): support of education of poor children around the world and in Slovenia and support of building of schools and hospitals.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We can contribute with our knowledge and experience in the field of education and promotion of peace and universal human values and rights. By doing so, we will bring added value to the Slovenian network. At the same time we will learn from our partners and other cultures and actively contribute to the development and implementation of the Anna Lindh Foundation agenda.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The values we actively promote through our work co align with the goals the Anna Lindh Foundation is trying to achieve. Becoming a part of such network would enable us to straighten the cooperation with partners from the Euro-Mediterranean Region. We can achieve synergy with the other organizations in the network and mutually assist in achieving our common goals.
