On this day, 100 years ago, an experience that took place in a school in Teià was unveiled at EAJ1 Ràdio Barcelona and showcased the possibilities of what would soon be named “radiopedagogy”.
School teacher Cristobal Ferrer from a school in Teià bought a radio device as an element of cultural diffusion that the school’s 94 students could listen through the speakers. They follow English classes, lectures, the weather forecast, sports news and Toresky’s conversation’s.
In Ràdio Lot magazine, printed by Eduard Rifà, founder of RAC, the use of radios in schools as an educational element was presented as a milestone and teachers were encouraged to take part.
The initiatives would be implemented and, eventually,the first of EAJ1’s educational broadcasts would take place on the 5th of December 1928, including proposals and topics addressed to students.
