Operation Rti- An initiative from Radio Taiwan

Operation Rti- An initiative from Radio Taiwan.

When was the last time you sent a postcard? It might be time to get out your pen and participate in Dear Rti!

To celebrate the 95th Birthday of Radio Taiwan International (RTI) and in response to current global unrest, Rti is collecting postcards from people around the world.

The initiative will represent a collective effort to combine individual wishes and messages for peace and stability together as a unified movement, as well as celebrate the station’s 95th birthday!

Imagine messages sent from all over the world to Taiwan, a huge collection of colourful postcards displayed.

Score yourself a limited edition 95th birthday postcard to commemorate the event in return for your postcard. As well as go in the running to win other prizes.

Postcards with messages can be sent to the radio station 

These cards will be displayed as messages of hope in various locations around Taiwan and the world including.

Showcased at Rti’s gala dinners
Read aloud on Rti’s programs
Interacted with, on different Rti’s social media platforms
