#lomé2, here we go!

The Radio Réveil Association, in partnership with the International Christian Center for Study, Research, and Information (CICERI) and Radios Ebène and Développement, is pleased to announce the second edition of the Training Seminar for Christian Radio Stations in French-speaking Africa, which will take place November 25–29, 2019, in Lomé, Togo.

Emmanuel Ziehli, director of Radio Réveil, was in Lomé (Togo), as well as in Cotonou and Porto-Novo (Benin), in early June to organize this second seminar focused on the strategic and operational aspects of the effective operation of Christian radio stations.

A Full-Featured Radio

Following the first seminar in January, which focused primarily on operational matters, it became clear that there was an urgent need to also engage with radio station leaders (pastors and founders) in order, among other things, to work with them to develop a vision for programming centered on the incarnate Gospel rather than the preached Gospel: 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 based on biblical principles, and discussions regarding the creation of a Federation of Francophone Christian Media in Africa. The operational track will offer workshops dedicated to web radio/IP radio, journalism, audio, studio technology, marketing, and many other topics.

Distinguished Speakers

During his various meetings, Emmanuel announced the names of several of the expected speakers:
Dr. Alphonse Teyabe of Radio Salaaman in Cameroon,
Dr. Paul Zagré of JEMED in Niger,
Dr. Paolo Jean Bedogni of 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:

Togolese authorities welcome the radio training initiative

In Lomé, the seminar made headlines in several media outlets, with representatives of the relevant Togolese authorities praising the initiative behind this training program.

For a week, Emmanuel Ziehli, director of Radio Réveil; Serge Carrel, journalist and trainer; Andrea Luzi, technician; Christian Gaspoz of Radio Ébène et Développement; and Professor Alphonse Teyabe shared their knowledge with a discerning and passionate audience. Each day, workshops focused on the practical aspects of radio and the journalism profession alternated with plenary sessions that sparked debate on issues such as the contribution of evangelical radio stations to mission work and journalistic ethics.

Organized to mark the 70th anniversary of the Radio Réveil association, the event was put together in partnership with the International Christian Center for Study, Research, and Information (CICERI) in Lomé and the Radio Ébène et Développement association in France.

2019 Lomé Seminar

French-speaking Africa: About 100 representatives from evangelical radio stations sign the Lomé Declaration

From January 14 to 18, more than 100 people involved in evangelical radio stations in French-speaking Africa attended a training seminar in Lomé. During the event, participants signed a declaration aimed at promoting relations among evangelical radio stations. This includes the immediate creation of a Facebook page and discussions regarding the establishment of an evangelical news agency and a Federation of Evangelical Media in French-speaking Africa.

On Friday, January 18, in Lomé, journalists, hosts, producers, and technicians from more than thirty evangelical radio stations in French-speaking Africa signed a document titled “The Lomé Declaration.”

A Facebook group to encourage collaboration

This document establishes an online group to encourage personal and professional exchanges among participants in the Training Seminar for Evangelical Radio Stations in French-speaking Africa, which was held January 14–18 in Lomé at the initiative of Radio Réveil (Switzerland). This declaration also raises the possibility of creating, in the future, a website for sharing radio content and an African, evangelical, and French-speaking news agency. Finally, the Lomé Declaration proposes the creation of a Federation of Evangelical Media in French-speaking Africa.

For Alphonse Teyabe of Cameroon, author of a doctoral dissertation on “The Church and the Media: The Contribution of Evangelical Radio Stations to Mission” and a key speaker at the training session, “this statement aims above all to encourage the various radio stations to come together and work as a team. It is imperative that we work together to overcome the various obstacles before us: a lack of professionalism and the difficulty of promoting holistic radio programs or those characterized by integral mission.” The founder of several radio stations in northern Cameroon also welcomed the idea of establishing a federation of evangelical media in French-speaking Africa, a proposal accepted unanimously by the participants.

Encouraging a New Approach Among Radio Stations

“This meeting helped break down competitive barriers among evangelical radio stations,” adds Emmanuel Ziehli, director of Radio Réveil and the driving force behind the gathering. “Another concern of ours is the generational gap—between people born in the ’60s and ’70s and young people who don’t see themselves reflected in older leaders. Our goal is to encourage the emergence of new leaders who can communicate the faith to the younger generation.”

Emmanuel Ziehli is planning to organize a second edition of this seminar. It could take place next January in Lomé. “With the population of French-speaking Africa doubling every 25 years, the time has come to pass the torch,” concludes Emmanuel Ziehli. “It is no longer up to the ‘little Swiss’ or the French to produce programs for Africa, but up to Africans to take on this challenge. Radio Réveil hopes to contribute by promoting training on the ground.”

Radio stations from 9 countries

From January 14 to 18, Radio Réveil—a producer of evangelical radio programs for the entire French-speaking world based in Bevaix, Switzerland—organized a training seminar for Christian radio stations in French-speaking Africa in Lomé, Togo, to mark its 70th anniversary. This seminar was organized in partnership with the International Christian Center for Study, Research, and Information (CICERI) in Lomé and Radios Ebène et Développement in France. More than a hundred people actively involved in or interested in radio production—from Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Mali, Benin, Niger, Senegal, and Togo—participated in the event.
