Radio Rabe awarded the Bernese Culture Prize
The alternative radio station Radio Rabe has been awarded the 2011 Culture Prize of the Canton of Bern. According to the citation, Rabe has established itself over the past 15 years as a cultural radio station committed to diversity, pluralism, multilingualism, and social engagement.
Without Rabe, the canton of Bern would be missing an important alternative voice in cultural life. This was the decision of the committee responsible, according to a press release issued on Friday. The Culture Prize is endowed with 30,000 Swiss francs and will be presented in Bern on September 22.
Theater maker Germain Meyer will then be able to accept the 10,000 Swiss franc prize for cultural mediation. He has been involved in numerous projects, including the theater matura at Pruntrut High School. He is also involved in setting up a
theater network at schools.
