[cr-india] Community Radio Workshop at Tilonia-Rajasthan

[Geeta Malhotra]

Dear friends

I am taking this opportunity to share with you all that I have joined
Digital Empowerment Foundation.

Digital Empowerment Foundation, in association with Barefoot College (Social
Work and Research Centre), Tilonia, Media Lab Asia and SEWA, Ahmedabad, is
organsing a Workshop on "Community Radio in the hands of Communities :
Operations and Collaborations " during 2-4 February 2008, at Tilonia,
District Ajmer, Rajasthan.

The three days Workshop will dovetail around :

Linkages between Community Radio and Community Development
Importance of Community Radio for Information and Knowledge-based
empowerment process
Community Radio practices followed by licensing or vice-versa
Content from Communities for Community Radio
Importance of training, capacity building and handholding for Community
Radio success
Financial viability
Various technology options


The participants would be Grassroots Communications experts from Tilonia;
women from SEWA; representatives of NGOs. The Workshop would be based on the
participatory approach and learning from each other. The Resource Persons
would be sharing the policy guidelines; how to prepare for applying the
license and various technology options apart from Content from the
Communities and for Community Needs. A copy of the tentative Agenda is
enclosed.

We plan to have six Regional Workhops during this year in Uttarakhand,
Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Andhra Pradesh and, if possible, North East.

Interested organisations are welcome to write to us if they would like to
attend this Workshop, specially from Rajasthan.

Best regards
