General Information

Radio ARA is an independent, non-commercial radio station that has been operating in Luxembourg as a community radio station since 1992, initially serving alternative communities such as environmental, feminist and LBGQ groups, as well as specific music communities. Radio ARA consists of three not for profit organisations, one of which is ARA International Community Radio asbl.

Mission and Objectives

Access to information without language barriers is essential for everyone, the pandemic and the war in Ukraine has shown us that no small community should be forgotten. There are volunteers who currently work on our multilingual show project and we have identified others who are willing to work with us, alongside Ryse and Passerell asbl on this new Podcast Project. We will create an Outreach Platform where we host small 3.5-minute podcasts in different languages. Each podcast offers bitesize accurate information that will help vulnerable people understand and navigate the situation they find themselves in and where they are in the legal process. We believe the access to accurate information will alleviate much of the stress and misunderstanding that occurs, in this way alleviating potential tensions that may arise for society. Much of the development within Radio ARA in the past years has been due to changes in Luxembourg as a society, and it is important to recognise the support we have received from Oeuvre and the important work we have achieved since the first the Salaam Show, then through the addition of the multilingual shows is extremely important and valued by many in Luxembourg. Our integration projects have been pivotal in stabilising and solidifying Radio ARA’s role as a community radio for all in Luxembourg.
