A. Project environment: profile of the organisation and local community
ORANGE 94.0 is a community radio. It is providing an open access to all kinds of non-commercial radioprograms. ORANGE 94.0 is organised as a non-profit and non-governmental organisation. About 450
community-radiomakers are producing programs 7 days a week, 24 hours a day within nearly 200 different programms. ORANGE 94.0 is specifically aiming at the support of radiomakers, who represent segments of society, which are underrepresented in the mainstream-media. Thus, for instance, the program includes various radio-shows done by migrants in their mother-tongues. The program also includes shows done by children and youth, whose conventional role in the mainstream-media is rather that of consumers or objects and not of active producers; and so on.
ORANGE 94.0 refuses to broadcast advertisements and commercials in order to create a space for
radiomakers, which is independent from commercial interests. This concept has been working very well. For more than 8 years now ORANGE 94.0 is broadcasting content, which in many respects doesn´t find an adequate access into the mainstream media. This includes feminist women´s programs as well as experimental music or philosophical debates. ORANGE 94.0 provides equipment and technical support for the radio makers, as well as assistance where needed and a basic education in media law.
ORANGE 94.0 is situated in Vienna. It is accessible to people from all segments of society and the
broadcasts represent a broad spectrum of the inhabitants of the city. Within the project however there is a broad participation by migrants as well as by various social initiatives. Thus the project offers an interesting and multicultural environment to the volunteers.
As described above ORANGE 94.0 implicates an emphasis on multicultural media-production. The
volunteer him/herself can add to this dimension of the project as well. In the beginning we will give the
volunteer an insight into how to make radio: interviewing, live-radio, technology, cut and mix. He/she
will be integrated in our multiprofessional team of eight persons (50% female/50% male) and will assist
our programme coordinator in programm scheduling, organizing outdoor-projects and the coordination
of recording sessions. He/she will as well work on different administrational tasks, like communicating
with people approaching the radio with various questions, learning skills needed for sound recording,
auditing and producing audio material.
According to his/her interests and abilities he/she will be able to create his/her own programme.
Our experience in the past has shown that the project is enriched by the volunteers. Coming from
various cultural backgrounds the volunteers can contribute to the diversity within the project. The
volunteers´ contributions are especially welcome for the sake of cultural exchange on an european
level.

B. Proposed activities for EVS volunteers
As you can see below, there are according to the work fields a lot of different learning opportunities within ORANGE 94.0. In general the volunteer will learn to work in a good working environment of several skilled and very helpful team members on hins/her own respomsibility and according to their interests as far as possible.
The volunteer works about 30 hours a week. The variety of activities within the project is rather broad. To a certain degree this enables the volunteer to pick his/her tasks out of this variety according to his/her interests. The volunteer works within a multiprofessional team of eight members (4 woman and 4 men). The work fields are general mangament, administration, pr, projectmanagment, training, programmcoordination, sound engenering IT. The volunteer also gets his or her own tasks and responsibilities within this workfields. Tasks include:

30% Administration: the administration of subscriptions, coordination of the declarations of broadcasting, production of editorial licenses, answering the telephone.
20% Support of radio makers: coordinating the availability of equipment for the radio makers, talking with radio makers in the office and on the phone.
30% Editorial work: according to special interests of the volunteer, he or she can develop own activities within the Radio: he/she participates in one or several of the following activities: production of jingles, journalistic work for special campaigns (e.g. against domestic violence), maintenance of audio and IT-equipment ;
20% co-ordination of regional, national and international projects (e.g. content-exchange with our partners in various european countries), adult-education
Also, there is the opportunity to develop own programme ideas and broadcast these in our programme.
Opening hours:

The volunteer will also work outside of the office. The volunteer´s office-hours also depend on his/her
preferences.

C. Volunteer profiles
The volunteer should be interested in media and in the concept of free radio. Previous experience in the field of radio and audio is not necessary, but would be appreciated. The volunteer should have team spirit. Radio Orange is getting support for the selectio of its coordinating organisation Grenzenlos. After receiving the applications Radio orange is selecting the volunteers after a personal talk, mainly by phone.

E. Risk prevention
Our volunteer will not have the sole responsibility at any time. More staff members will be present at all times. he/she will receive clear instructions on what to do in cases of emergency and whom to contact.
