World Radio Day 2025 Celebration
Dear Radio Professionals,
UNESCO is pleased to invite your radio station to join the global celebration of World Radio Day (WRD) on Thursday, 13 February 2025. Proclaimed by UNESCO Member States in 2011 and adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012, WRD honors radio’s vital role in fostering informed and connected communities.
This year’s theme, “Radio and Climate Change,” highlights radio’s ability to support populations in facing climate challenges by sharing fact-based information, amplifying community voices, and producing dedicated programming.
We encourage your station to participate in this international celebration by:
- Accessing UNESCO’s Resources: Explore and download materials such as posters, audio/visual clips, and guides to enhance your programming at UNESCO’s World Radio Day 2025 page.
- Registering Your Activities: Share your plans and join the global WRD map to connect with other stations worldwide at UNESCO’s World Radio Day 2025 registration page.
- Using the Hashtag: Bring visibility to your activities by posting on social media with #WorldRadioDay.
Participating in WRD offers you the chance to connect with other radio stations, exchange programs, guests, and sound archives, and even develop longer-term collaborations. Your dedication and passion for grassroots communications, entertaining, informing, and connecting with your listeners make you an ideal partner for promoting the inherent value of the radio as a trusted and mindful source of information.
UNESCO salutes your dedication to providing reliable information and contributing to the future of our planet. We look forward to seeing your station represented in this year’s celebration!
