A:
The radio workshop Velpe of the protestant. church municipality Westerkappeln is to all groups, independently of their association membership, as a partner for the switching of medium authority and production of citizen radio transmissions at disposal in the district Steinfurt. With groups from the region we make a transmission about one topic and give it to the producers who make the technical and editorial assistance necessary for it. As "communication aides " we are in special way partners for groups of children and young people and schools. In projects with these target groups we connect medium authority and the requirement of the group to make their respective topic in the radio " audible ". Therefore the groups are considerably involved from the idea to the finished product. We regard children and young people as humans with own personality, who we want to strengthen by our offer and whose communicative abilities are to be extended by medium-educational offers. Beyond that we support regularly the producing groups and offer them assistance and qualification possibilities. As an appreciative radio workshop we constantly develop our offer further on.
