Sheria ni Dawa ("Justice: A Remedy") is a radio program that promotes the concept of justice as a means of reconciliation and healing of trauma. It is produced by journalists of East Congo who call upon a panel of local and international lawyers and psychologists to inform listeners on the notion of justice as a means of healing trauma and preventing a new cycle of violence. A half-hour in length, the Swahili-language Sheria ni Dawa airs twice a month on 16 Congolese radio stations.
Regional Youth Project Collaboration DRC/Rwanda/Burundi: Générations grands lacs ("Great Lakes - The Next Generation") is a regional radio initiative from Rwanda, East Congo and Burundi intended for young people (15-30 years) with the aim of prevention and resolution of conflicts. Générations grands lacs is a co-production between Search for Common Ground (SFCG) and Radio Benevolencija, and uses young writers and journalists from the three countries. Four radio stations in the region broadcast the French-language program simultaneously each week.
In addition, Radio Benevolencija produces a special radio drama sequence of this program, which consists of episodes of six to seven minutes in length. The plot centers around young people from Kumbuka Kesho and Musekeweya , Radio Benevolencija's radio drama in Rwanda . They all attend a boarding school located on the border of Rwanda , Burundi and the DRC. It is in the heart of this international and intercultural environment that tensions arise from stereotypes and unhealed trauma in the young people from the three countries.
