We are three EVS volunteers for a media project called mediart in Serres, Greece - Steven Price(Wales) Stephanie Williams(Wales) and Jonas Aberg (Sweden). We work on a radio station called Rodon fm(http://rodonfm.net/v01/)producing and making our own shows. On sunday the 13th of May we will air a live radio show in English about World Migratory Bird Day between 13:30-14:30 Greek time, we also have radio spots that we already have playing during comercials to promote the event.

We will held a Big Bird Race at tidal flat to watch wader or snipe birds migrated from Australia.

We expect that more than 150 students and people would participate this event to watch migratory Birds and local company supporters for wetland conservations willingly funded to protect the birds.

The student team will be seperated into 12 groups around Bongam tidal flat which is artificially restortated by NGOs and citizens and only suburb area to watch the sensitive and week bird species.
