🎉 We are happy to announce the official opening of our brand new school radio studio! The creation of the studio was planned and brought to life during the 2023-2024 school year with the contribution of parents, teachers and pupils. Pupils from the sixth grade classes participated actively in the process under the guidance and supervision of the Art teacher. The patterns adorning the soundproof panels are inspired by the pupils' own designs .
The operation of the radio studio opens up new ways of expression and creativity for our school community. Our first radio shows are airing on the welcoming online platform of the European School Radio. Additionally, our studio is ready to host student groups from other primary and secondary schools who wish to record their own radio shows and podcasts.
