Radio Campus Université de Guyane is taking shape with the journalist residency «UG, terre de culture créative - Ici commence notre radio», to train students, support their expression and promote French Guiana.
A new cultural and civic stage for the University of Guyana
With the «UG, terre de culture créative - Ici commence notre radio» journalist residency, the University of French Guyana is embarking on a new stage in its cultural and civic development. This project lays the foundations for its future Radio Campus.
The aim of this initiative is to train students in media skills. It also aims to encourage their expression, their commitment and their ability to speak out in the public arena. In this way, Radio Campus Université de Guyane is part of an educational, cultural and collective approach.
The project also highlights the cultural, scientific and human wealth of French Guiana. It highlights a living, diverse territory that is open to its Amazonian and Caribbean environment.
An open, participatory student medium
The future Radio Campus is intended to become a participatory student medium. It will be open to the entire university community. Students, lecturers, staff and the University's partners will be able to contribute to it.
This medium will provide a space for information, dialogue and promotion. It will give visibility to initiatives undertaken within the University of Guyana. It will also enable projects, ideas and experiments carried out on the various campuses to be shared more widely.
Through its participatory approach, Campus Radio will encourage cooperation. It will give students an active role in producing and broadcasting content. It will also promote a better understanding of academic, cultural and civic issues.
Training students to meet the challenges of information
The project is part of a context marked by the multiplication of information sources. This development makes media and information literacy essential. It is all the more important given the challenges posed by misinformation.
Campus Radio will help to develop students' critical thinking skills. They will learn to analyse information, verify content and understand the mechanisms of media production. These skills are useful not only in their studies, but also in their lives as citizens.
Students will also be able to improve their oral and written expression skills. They will learn about journalistic techniques, the production of digital content and the management of group projects. In this way, Radio Campus Université de Guyane will become a practical training and learning tool.
Promoting the cultural, linguistic and scientific diversity of French Guiana
French Guiana is a multicultural and multilingual territory, with a strong focus on its Amazonian and Caribbean environment. This makes it a particularly rich area for media creation.
Campus Radio will showcase the diversity of backgrounds, cultures and languages. It will also give a place to the civic initiatives and scientific productions that make up the richness of the region.
By giving a voice to the university community, this medium will be able to give visibility to experiences that are often little known. It will also help to raise awareness of the talent, research, commitments and projects taking place in French Guiana.
Linking the Cayenne, Kourou and Saint-Laurent du Maroni campuses
The future Radio Campus will be deployed across the Cayenne, Kourou and Saint-Laurent du Maroni campuses. This will improve the flow of information between the various university sites.
It will also encourage the sharing of experiences. Students and staff on the various campuses will be able to find out more about initiatives being carried out elsewhere in the region. This dynamic will help to create more links between the sites.
Through this circulation of words and content, Campus Radio will help to strengthen the feeling of belonging to the same university community. It will help build a common space, despite the geographical distance between campuses.
