On February 13, UNESCO will be celebrating the 10th edition of World Radio Day (WRD), with the theme “New World, New Radio.”

The day was Proclaimed in 2011 by the Member States of UNESCO, and adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012.

UNESCO has organized this year's celebration around three subthemes: Evolution, Creation and Connection.

According to the organisers, “New World, New Radio” is an ode to the resilience of radio. It is a tribute to its capacity for perpetual adaptation to the rhythm of societal transformations and listeners' new needs.
Accessible anywhere and anytime, radio reaches a broad audience. It presents itself as an arena where all voices can be expressed, represented, and heard – hence why radio is still the most consumed medium worldwide today.

It is calling on all radio stations, audio shows and podcasters around the world to participate, and remind their listeners that radio is part of humanity's history by forging links, providing us with many services, and adapting to our lifestyles thanks to new technologies.
