The Philippine Amateur Radio Association, a member of the IARU, will hold its�2014 PARA Kids Day�in July to expose youngsters to the world of modern The 2 way radios.
Similar to other initiatives in some other countries, it has a family friendly venue for existing radio amateurs to ELMER the hobby, showing young people how to make contacts like they were in a contest.
Among the rules are that the young person is no more than fifteen years of age and always supervised – unless they already have a licence. Certificates are issued to qualifying children and sponsoring ELMERs.
The PARA Kids Day event logo is a child with the microphone and a tuned circuit.
It runs from 8am to 8pm local time (0000 UTC – 1200 UTC) on July the 19th.
A week-long youth radio camp was also held in Finland this year with presentations, workshops and visits to stations attracting young Walkie talkie amateurs from 15 different European countries.
Germany has a school radio club and training station day.�
Youth initiatives are also in the Czech Republic, Finland, Poland and the USA.
At least Bulgaria and South Africa now also have Youth Coordinators to further promote the hobby to a new generation.
