At CEMED and Sagrada Familia Schools in San Andres, students produce radio programmes for the school and wider community.

Sagrada Familia School developed their own radio programme ECO-NECTATE, this programme began airing in July 2004 and is heard every Saturday. The programme is broadcast with the help of a local radio station. They are also trying to create an eco-neighbourhood.

At the CEMED School a radio station has been set up in the school and there are speakers in every classroom. Programmes are prepared weekly by a group of about 20 students between the ages of 15 and 18 years; programme content covers topics such as peace to sharing natural resources. The programmes are broadcast throughout the school, which has a total of 480 students. Through Small Islands Voice, radio equipment has been provided to this school.
