#lomé2, let's go!
The Radio Réveil Association, in partnership with the International Christian Center for Study, Research, and Information (CICERI) and Radios Ebène et Développement, is pleased to announce the second edition of the Training Seminar for Christian Radio Stations in French-speaking Africa, which will take place from November 25 to 29, 2019, in Lomé, Togo.
Emmanuel Ziehli, director of Radio Réveil, was in Lomé (Togo), as well as in Cotonou and Porto-Novo (Benin) at the beginning of June to organize this second seminar focused on the strategic and operational aspects of the effective functioning of Christian radio stations.
A full radio
Following the first seminar in January, which focused mainly on operational issues, it became clear that there was an urgent need to also address radio station managers (pastors and promoters) in order, among other things, to develop with them a vision of programming oriented toward an incarnate gospel rather than a preached one: a form of holistic radio that cares for the body, soul, and spirit.
The strategic vision will take the form of think tanks (integral radio, epidemic prevention, counseling, practical information, etc.), workshops on financial management according to biblical principles, and discussions on the creation of a Federation of French-speaking Christian Media in Africa. The operational focus will offer workshops dedicated to web radio/radio over IP, journalism, sound, technology (studio), marketing, and much more.
Keynote speakers
During his various meetings, Emmanuel revealed the names of several of the expected speakers:
Dr. Alphonse Teyabe from Radio Salaaman in Cameroon,
Dr. Paul Zagré from JEMED in Niger,
Dr. Paolo Jean Bedogni from Radios Ebène Développement,
Pastor Franck Jeanneret and journalist Serge Carrel from Switzerland.
The director of Radio Réveil also met with participants at the first seminar to gather their feedback. Listen to Clément from Radio Providence in Lomé:

I really appreciate the work of Radio Réveil for French-speaking Africa. May God help us fulfill our mission through the media at Qoolaand FM/Senegal.
This is a very good initiative to help Christian radio stations become more professional. I am interested in participating in the training. What are the practical details regarding coverage?
