Quindo: adventurous radio for young Kortrijk
Howest University College and Music Centre Track in Kortrijk, West-Flanders decided to work together and to form Quindo, a web-radio for young people from the region. They built a news room and a state-of-the art studio in what once was a former radio studio of the Belgian public broadcaster VRT.
Quindo stands for atypical, adventurous, innovative radio and aims at listeners of 16 to 30 years old. The aired music is not mainstream and there is a strong focus on local bands. Quindo cooperates with almost all Belgian record labels and dozens of (music) organizations in Kortrijk.
In its news programs, Quindo offers information that is relevant for young people of Kortrijk and its surroundings. There is a wide variety of covered topics: news, sports, culture, events…
The youth radio is the beating heart of a media lab, an experimental space where young people can learn and present cross-media skills. It also is a place where innovative media applications are tested and where the relationship between media producers and media users is investigated.
Quindo’s pulse comes from its young volunteers. They are radio dj, presenter, technician, producer, cinematographer, web designer … They can develop their skills by following one of the numerous workshops organised by Quindo.
Quindo is part of the network of media labs or regional youth radio broadcasters of REC Radiocentrum, Ghent.
Quindo works closely with the 2Seas EU Interreg 4A project SeaMedia via partner Howest by collaborating on video content and media-related event planning. The Multi-Mania cross-media, cross-culture art-of-storytelling track is just one example of this.
