Eur@dioNantes is a new kind of radio, linking different European corners and exposing the many faces of the European conscience. It is a daring project, setting out to create a "local international" media that deals with local news with an European impact. Its goals are also to turn on the spotlight on the European information, to bring out other such binding initiatives in Europe, and to sustain and develop the European values.

The grand opening is happening on the night between the 12th and the 13th of May, when Eur@dioNantes will start to air on 101.3 FM, but will also be broadcasted live on the Internet. For more information, check out the website: www.euradionantes.eu!

The studios are being installed for now in the romantic location of an old naval workshop in Nantes, on an island surrounded by the Loire river, situated in the center of the city: "Lîle de Nantes".

Eur@dioNantes is also a school where journalists from different European countries can develop their talent and share their visions of the old continent. That means that skilled volunteers from all over Europe are welcomed to bring their contribution!

The innovative project was initiated by Laurence Aubron, brought to life by an association funded in 2006 and sustained by Jérome Clément, Président d'Arte France. For now, the staff is made of seven journalist students: Anja from Sweden, Caroline from Germany, Raluca from Romania, Dora from Hungary, Andréa from Spain, Estelle from France and Dimitri from Greece. Of course, they are helped by a professional media team and by many correspondents across the continent. Many European universities have already joined the network of active partners of Eur@dioNantes.
