From local tv to global education

The word LOCAL shouldn’t mean restriction but nearness, a closeness which allows an active collaboration of studens, from just a visit to the station to an active involvement in programme planning (either participating or producing reports, news, or TV game shows). We give a chance to viewers to be part of the process and learning by doing. But nearness isn’t just something physical it also means “typical”, so we try to spread and preserve our local lore, which sometimes is close to become extinct. In short with all these experiences we try to form & inform our learners and provide them with a critical vision a good knowledge of the media and always having in mind their ages.
