Broadcasting from the first of January 2006, the Arcobaleno-Rainbow
members experience and share a new concept of communication.
Radio Salaam Shalom Lecha - A radio program bringing together Israelis and
Palestinians. Prepared and conducted jointly by Israeli Arab and Jewish
youngsters of Beresheet LaShalom. The proposal, made by Franco La Torre
(Director of the International Centre of Peace in Rome, Italy - an initiative of
Mayor Veltroni), to start a program created by young people for young people on
the radio station "All for peace", which broadcasts throughout Israel and
Jerusalem from Ramallah.
The project provides, for now, one hour a week on the issues of integration and
of educating to difference.
The All for Peace Radio Station,
that broadcasts
simultaneously from Jerusalem and Ramallah,
having heard of our work for peace and
dialogue, invited us to experiment and
produce a short pilot of an hour's broadcast
from young people to young people. We searched for a local radio station in our
area to produce the pilots, we were delighted when Radio Galil Eliyon
invited us to be on air as their guests. After experiencing how we create and
work together they enthusiastically incorporated this program in to their
schedule.
For the young actors of the Arcobaleno~Rainbow Theatre it was a whole new
challenge, as now they had to express themselves in words instead of the body
language which characterizes their performances of dance-theatre. On air since
January 2006 our programs are interesting and moving. Conversing with public
from all walks of life, our program includes story-telling and interviews with
people who work for peace. The youngsters of the Arcobaleno express their
yearning for a new world that will be better to live in.
