This title introduces a compelling narrative about cultural preservation through community media. Abdulaziz Rababah, a media figure from Ajloun, Jordan, rose to prominence by:

• 🎙️ Hosting the radio program “Culture and Narrative” on Sawt Ajloun Community Radio

• 🤝 Creating a platform for dialogue with writers, artists, and historians

His journey, supported by the Intermediaries for Change Center, reflects how one voice—when empowered—can preserve memory, amplify identity, and inspire a community

“From the beginning, Abdulaziz embraced the agenda of Sawt Ajloun Radio and the Intermediaries for Change Center for Sustainable Development, which aims to promote cultural diversity and local identity, preserve folk heritage, and promote authentic knowledge and arts. The radio station enabled him to shape his media vision through training programs, specialized media guidance, and technical support that helped him refine his skills and produce high-quality content that speaks to the audience with professionalism and depth.”

“Through his distinguished program ‘Culture and Narrative,’ Abdulaziz launched a cultural dialogue platform that illuminates the deeply rooted Jordanian spirit found in folk tales, local literature, and open-minded human thought. His program was not merely a radio broadcast, but a truly interactive space where he hosted writers, thinkers, artists, and historians—discussing heritage issues, exploring their personal experiences, and helping bring culture from the walls of libraries into people’s homes.”

“Abdulaziz stood out for his approachable style, calm voice, and his ability to connect the past with the present in an engaging way, earning him wide appreciation from both the public and his fellow media professionals. With continuous support from the radio station, he was able to expand his influence and deliver media content that promotes national cultural awareness, connects youth and children with their heritage, and restores recognition of rural culture as an integral part of Jordanian identity.”

“The role of Sawt Ajloun Radio and the Center had a profound impact on Abdulaziz’s journey—not only through training and technical support, but also through their deep belief in the need for committed cultural media that documents stories, celebrates diversity, and creates a vibrant dialogue among the components of the local community.”

“Today, Abdulaziz Rababah is considered a symbol of responsible cultural media—one who did not settle for merely conveying information, but worked to create a new cultural awareness that strengthens belonging, celebrates roots, and gives local identity its rightful space in the media landscape.”

“Abdulaziz’s story reminds us that culture is not a luxury, but a necessity—and that a single voice, when supported by belief, vision, and empowerment, can make a profound difference in people’s lives. It can turn media into a tool for preserving national memory and building a future rooted in pride, knowledge, and belonging.”
