Contribution
Student radios as a community media are considered to be an undiscovered learning environments(Schugurensky, 2006). What do young people learn here?
I suggest that except of broadcasting skills which can one master in a relatively short time, young people have a safe enivronment here for creative experimentation and training not only for the world of media. They also learn how to negotiate and cooperate within the group, search for information, critical thinking and media literacy. They learn how to give and receive feedback and the sense of community is also reinforced here.
How are these kinds of knowledge and skills created?
The objective is to discover how young people participate and what do they learn in such organizations. My claim is that participation in student radio and commitment to learn here depends on a sense which young people invest to these volunteer activities. My research question is How broadcasters in student radios create their sense for participating in student radio?
