LIBERIAN-LED SINCE 2019 · WORKING FOR PEACE SINCE 1997
Shared voices.
Public action.
Lasting peace.
TDS Liberia advances peace, accountable governance, human rights and responsible natural-resource management through strategic communication and community action.
WHO WE ARE
A national civil-society organization shaped by Liberia’s path from war to peace.
WHAT WE BRING
Radio and drama opened the conversation. Community dialogue, research and local partnerships now carry it forward.
Radio Programming
While providing a platform for the voices and opinions of all, our radio programs share information on important issues such as land reform, women's empowerment, governance, and education. To this day, Talking Drum Studio is the nationally recognized institution that bridges the gap between essential information and everyday Liberians.
Participatory Theater
Talking Drum Studio’s participatory theater is also a hallmark of the studio’s work, garnering thousands of people to watch the performances and participate in dialogue. This form of theater combines education, entertainment, and culture to spark conversations on themes such as non-violence, education, women's empowerment, and justice.
“The messages sent by Talking Drum Studio encourage people not to give in to violence, to be tolerant, to approach grievances differently, or to try to resolve them in mutual respect. [...] I think that is essential. This is what has allowed us to have peace for 15 consecutive years.”
— Former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
