Radio Dzjambo is een project van Kom-Pas, het Gentse onthaalbureau, waarbij anderstalige nieuwkomers deel kunnen nemen aan allerhande workshops, projecten, bezoeken, enz. Urgent.fm, de jongerenradio in Gent, nam het initiatief om in het kader van de Internationale Migrantendag aan een kleine groep migranten een workshop radiomaken aan te bieden. Nacéra, Nyima, Seyed en Ulas kozen hun favoriete muziek, vertelden hun verhaal, hun wedervaren in België en presenteerden zelf het programma, weliswaar in niet altijd zo vlot Nederlands. Radio Dzjambo!
