SoundAffects links children across the globe through the unexploited medium of high quality audio and gives them access to a powerful and intimate line of communication.

Children from different cultures can listen to each other, learn about each other’s lives, participate in a dialogue in which they discuss the things that matter to them and develop advocacy skills with which to ask and respond to considered and thoughtful questions.

SoundAffects gives children the opportunity to work with professional radio broadcasters in order to share their stories and contribute to joint cross-cultural curriculum projects. All the material recorded is produced to high quality broadcast standards and will be available for any interested school to use in their teaching of global citizenship.

Through SoundAffects, children find out more about the revealing minutiae of each other’s lives and learn how much they have in common with others, while recognising and becoming more open to differences.

SoundAffects offers children the space and time to reflect more deeply about themselves and challenge their own preconceptions while learning about and empathising with others.
