Community radio stations across South Africa were invited to submit story ideas about 10 years of democracy from their communities for production into radio dramas. Twenty were selected; contributors were invited to Johannesburg to participate in a hands-on scriptwriting and production workshop that worked to turn these ideas into entertaining and informative ("edu-taining") radio programmes. Four workshops of 5 participants each were held over a 5-week period. During the workshops, participants were introduced to the basics of recording and production. They learned how to develop their ideas into a radio drama and how to use sound effects to get their message across.

The dramas produced reflect stories from communities about democracy in South Africa. Issues addressed include land rights, women's rights, the right and responsibility to vote, communities working together, and freedom of speech. For example:

Top participating community stations will receive cash prizes and join in a nationwide day of broadcast on which all stations will share their tales with other communities in a 'passing the flame' exercise live on air.
