Radio Študent Institute – Zavod Radio Študent (RŠ) operates in accordance with the Law on Associations and decisions made by its governing bodies. RŠ is a student and community radio, whose founder is the Student Organization of University of Ljubljana (SOUL), and a not-for-profit, civil society, cultural and educational organization with the legal status of a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO).
We have a long and proven track record in activist and media actions in defense of human rights, social equality, pacifism and freedom of speech. We were born from the student movement of the 1960’s, part of the civil society independence movement in the 1980’s, defended human rights and social equality in the transitional 1990’s and gave voice to the unheard minorities and migrants in recent times.
In the history of Slovene radio broadcasting RŠ stands out as the foremost presenter and critical evaluator of actual global music events with its characteristic form of music criticism, heartfelt and absorbed presentation of liminal, edgy, marginalised and socially provocative music from the world, ranging from all alternative forms of rock, jazz and improvised music, avant-garde and folk music, experimental music, contemporary DJ and electrophonic music.
As an educational institution, Radio Študent has been holding annual auditions for young radio and web journalists, tone and video technicians and radio presenters / moderators for many years, providing socially engaged and critically minded youth with neccessary experience and know-how to start their media careers.
Radio Študent programme holds the national status of »student radio program of special significance« and the national status of an NGO acting in public interest in youth sector.
