Refuge Worldwide is a radio station, educational platform and event series, operating across two locations in Berlin Neukölln.

The project started – simply named Refuge – in 2015 as a fundraising initiative working in solidarity with grassroots and non-profit organisations. Among others, we have worked with a young women’s centre, refugee housing support associations, a music school for marginalised persons, social equity groups, homelessness agencies, and a shelter for women and young persons fleeing domestic violence.

In January 2021 we launched Refuge Worldwide, a radio station to amplify the wide range of music and issues that we care about, broadcasting 24/7 from Weserstraße 166, (12045 Berlin Neukölln). The station’s curation aims to platform a diverse range of voices and give space to those who have not yet had the chance to host a radio show.

We host regular workshops, training programmes and classes in media, creative fields and mental health. These are free to attend as part of our community outreach. Refuge Worldwide is also involved in a number of collaborative projects around the globe with likeminded collectives, radio stations and activists.

In May 2024, we opened a second space at Niemetzstrasse, complete with a fully-equipped music production studio, allowing us to broaden the scope of our educational and event offerings.

Resonance FM (est. 1998) is a groundbreaking 24/7 radio station which broadcasts on 104.4 FM to central London, DAB to Greater London, nationally on Radioplayer and live streamed to the rest of the world.

Realised by a dedicated community of volunteer engineers and programme-makers, Resonance offers over 105 creative broadcast series every week featuring local and international artists, makers and experts. Resonance seeks to discover, encourage and support a diverse range of artistic voices through radio – from first-timers to seasoned broadcasters.

Our ambition is to provide a broadcast platform through which as many people as possible can exercise “the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community and to enjoy the arts” (Article 27, The Universal Declaration of Human Rights).

Our role extends to support for the rights of free speech; the rights to freely receive and impart information; and, in these days of algorithms curating and pushing us to mainstream commercial content, we offer protection to freedom of thought by ceding as much editorial control as current broadcast regulations allow to our contributors.

We invite audio artists to engage with our platform and listener-base directly, by responding to one of our frequent Open Calls for Broadcasts. We want to work with artists who seek to challenge conventional uses of the radio medium or who will use it to uncover global musical or artistic scenes that are currently under-represented.

Seydisfjordur Community Radio 107.1 is a shared digital and analogue broadcasting platform located in the village of Seyðisfjörður on the east-coast of Iceland – hosted, nurtured and initiated by an open-ended international community inhabiting different conditions and positions, often somewhat distributed in various locations on the planetary surface. From these places and timezones we share, we inquire and we keep in touch – over and through radio. 

The community of listeners, broadcasters and hiding places morphs changes with time – some could say quite the foggy operation. Please consider this fog an open invitation to get in touch if you are interested in holding the radio in some way, even if just for a short while. We will do our best to include everyone who is interested in contributing and/ or listening in.

In 2025, Seydisfjordur Community Radio 107.1 and the LungA School will start an ongoing experiment around an open arts-program holding and facilitating itself through and via radio-transmission. A school community and work-group geographically dispersed, connected and collaborating within the radio as medium. A chrome ear singing to an open palm.
