The European Art Radio Online Festival - October 22 to November 4, 2007 - aims to congregate a diversified set of sonorous artistic radio conceptions, as much as the diversified cultures of this old continent extended from the polar regions to the Mediterranean basin, and from the Portuguese coast, to the Urals, contrasting in latitude and longitude with affections and flavours, beyond all languages. By the way, the languages mark also differences, although not borders, in this European Union. Texts in its original language with parallel translation in English and Portuguese are available, in order to allow the listener to follow with all the detail the program of each country.

Several signals flowed to this Festival, in a true panel of colours and forms to follow throughout the next months, where the creativity without limits prove, concerning at least to the radio, that there is a lot for inventing, and after all, not even everything is made. The European Art Radio Online Festival is an initiative of the Goethe Institute in Lisbon and Antena 2 from RTP (Radio e Televisão de Portugal), as a form to point out the Portuguese presidency of the European Union. The invitation was made to all the countries (more than 30) members of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

This way we may have, in this common platform which is the Internet, a healthy confrontation of styles, kinds and, at last, the genius of radio producers, allowing an exchange of experiences from which it may result a step forward for the investment of a constructive globalization of culture.
