## Tuning into Sunshine: Radio Soleil, A Community's Voice in Réunion
Radio Soleil (Allon Réyoné! 97.4) isn't just a radio station; it's a testament to the power of community and the enduring legacy of education. Broadcasting from Saint-Paul, Réunion, this vibrant station has been a cornerstone of the West Island's soundscape since its official FM debut in 1995. But its roots go even deeper, reaching back to the 1980s within the halls of Collège Jules Solesse.
Born from a unique educational initiative, Radio Soleil began as a companion project to a photography workshop. Teachers recognized the importance of nurturing students' oral expression alongside their visual creativity. This innovative approach provided a platform for young voices to be heard, fostering confidence and communication skills. What started as a classroom project blossomed into a full-fledged community radio station, demonstrating the transformative impact of educational vision.
