AMARC Europe is the membership organization serving the community radio movement across Europe. The political representation of this broadcasting sector is the driving principle of our initiatives and actions. A stronger network means more impact.

In November 2020 AMARC Europe will hold its General Assembly in Brussels/Belgium – detailed information coming soon. In the course of the General Assembly also all applications for new members will be discussed and approved. So, this is now the opportunity to become a full member with AMARC Europe. 

We are also calling on our current members to update their membership details and fees and get in touch if there are any questions via members@amarceurope.eu.  

We remind you that all the community radios, radio federations or production groups can apply for the full membership. Single persons, researchers or any other radio activist can only apply for the “associated member” status. Please check our website to get more information at this regard.

In line with our statutes, radio stations should be “up to date” with the payment of membership fees in order to have the (active and passive) right to vote during the General Assembly. This means that if the membership fees were not payed in the previous years, we kindly ask you at this stage to update your subscription including the previous unpaid membership fee.

25 Euro for independence? With your AMARC membership fees you join over 300 community radio stations and federations in over 20 European countries and over 3.000 AMARC members worldwide with the aim to strengthen the community media sector in Europe and worldwide.

AMARC Europe is the biggest European community media network with focus on political support for our members and the continuous improvement of the framework for community media in Europe through advocacy and lobbying campaigns.

Through our continuous collaborations and projects with European and international partners, we create a broad variety of opportunities for sector-specific trainings, networking and exchanges for our members. In addition, our members are able to use free of charge our office facilities and meetings rooms at the umbrella organization of Flanders NGOs, unions and solidarity groups (https://www.11.be/en/) in the center of Brussels.
