About Us  

Beijing One Plus One Cultural Exchange Center (1+1 Sound Studio, 1+1 Online Radio and 1+1 Mobile Advice Clinic), was set up in March 2006 by two disabled people, both with an IT back ground. It is an NGO created and run entirely by people with disabilities and it employs both disabled and non-disabled people. It a member of the China Association for NGO Cooperation (CANGO).

One Plus One has set up the country’s first radio production center, staffed entirely by disabled producers and journalists. Our programs have a nationwide footprint, broadcast on over 75 Chinese radio stations and reaching as many as 300 million listeners across China.. In 2008 two of our staff became the first fully accredited disabled Chinese journalists in the history of the Olympics. We have also set up China’s first online radio station for disabled people.

 

Our Team

One Plus One now employs 14 full-time staff, ten of whom are disabled(eight with visual impairments and two with physical disabilities). Our eight producers, three of whom are totally blind, are all long-standing radio addicts, highly attuned to the world of sound.
