Radio clubs dedicated to activities with children and youth will be presented. Anyone who is interested can stop by their stands and talk about topics related to activities for children and youth, but also about how to prepare for obtaining a concession. This means that everyone who is thinking about getting a concession can stop by the stands - we will be happy to help and advise them.
