Indigenous children are actively participating in a radio station that they helped set up in San Andrés ede Sotavento. The station is called "Positiva Estéreo" and in its programming indigenous children have several radio shows. In these radio shows they talk about children's rights; right to say NO to attempted sexual, psychological, physical abuse of adults; values of peace and coexistence in indigenous communities; women's rights and gender equity; the education they are receiving in schools; need to respect cultural, social, religious, ethnic diversity.
These children write their own scripts for radio shows and they themselves transmit them with their voices, with their words, with their emotions....
The covid 19 pandemic seriously affected the mental health of children and young people in these communities. On the radio, children talk about how to recognize and identify emotions and how to discover if we are suffering from symptoms of diseases such as depression, anxiety disorder, stress
