Community Radio is a powerful and versatile tool for building communities. Although it has been promoted by the UN worldwide for over half a century, in India, it is only in the last decade that the airwaves have been opened to the public, thanks to a landmark Supreme Court judgement. Even so, growth in this important medium has been slow, and even among NGOs engaged in community building, it remains largely unknown.
The TUNING INTO DIVERSITY 2 workshop is aimed at civil society organisations in western India, to help them understand the legal, technical, financial and media issues involved and to form an idea of the skills required of a team when starting a community radio station.
The workshop is intended for NGO workers and other activists involved in community media or in the process of thinking about, starting or already running a community radio station. The faculty will be expert practitioners in the field from various parts of India.
