HOW DOES RADIOACTIVE PROMOTE HEALTH?
The Health Pledge is just one way you can get involved in improving your health. RadioActive uses the power of radio to raise the awareness of issues important to you. The broadcast and training covers a wide range of topics, from healthy eating to sexual health.
RadioActive provides help and information about the services available for young people. On RadioActive Live, health content is broadcast at least 3 times during each hour and includes documentaries, interviews, stories and vox pops on issues such as self esteem, bullying, physical activity and drug misuse.
There have been over 70 different Health Zone pieces made by over 500 young people taking part in RadioActive workshops and training. The feature My Life covers the experiences and stories of young people. Some of these are to make you smile and others are to open up and explore important issues.
The program 'Voices' is an opportunity for the young people to go out on the street and into the community and find out opinions and thoughts on a variety of issues, from healthy eating to what they do to relax and stop stress. This is a great opportunity to use the interview and vox pop skills that are acquired during the training and workshops and put it into practice.
