THE RED CROSS x MAKING WAVES
Radio to support global response to epidemics
Launched by the French Red Cross, the RIPOSTE program aims to standardize epidemic management and strengthen local capacities through innovative tools. The Radiobox was chosen as a key element of this strategy, due to its ability to disseminate prevention and awareness messages in the most complex contexts. Since December 2024, 20 Radioboxes have been installed in Guinea, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Chad.
DISCOVER MAKING WAVES
Making Waves’ activities, which are both inclusive and social, are structured around three poles:
Making Waves installs in France and around the world Radioboxes, simplified nomadic radio studios that enable everyone to make their voices and ideas heard.
Making Waves uses the tools of radio to promote the social and professional inclusion of vulnerable people, in precarious situations or far from employment.
Making Waves creates audio series, podcasts and immersive journeys with radio stations, museums, theaters, festivals and public institutions.
A radio creates opportunities for unprecedented encounters, encourages the pooling of knowledge and the structuring of collective projects.
By creating links where they may be lacking, radio can be a powerful, unifying mobilization tool.

OUR TOOL, THE RADIOBOX
Radioboxes have only a few control buttons and simple outputs.
Anyone can use Radioboxes to make their radio stations without any technical skills, thanks to its intuitive setup, color coding and pictograms.
The Radiobox measures 22 x 30 cm and weighs 1.2 kilos. It is battery operated and fits in a backpack, along with its wires, microphones, loudspeakers and headphones.
With its steel case, extremely robust materials, hand-welded components, the Radiobox is a highly resistant studio recording system that is shock/weather-proof.
Radio plays a social, educational, cultural and conciliatory role, enabling everyone to speak out, exchange views and be heard.
It is a driving force for social cohesion and civic engagement.
Making the tools of radio accessible to make audible the diversity of voices that make up our society :
Working together to reduce inequalities, isolation and collective divisions.
