Wanted! Participants for Community Radio Project

Published: Wednesday, March 30, 2011

The Near Media Co-op is seeking 8 participants (4 Irish and 4 non-EU nationals) to take part in a new project, "Intercultural Dialogue through Community Media."

The aim of Near Media's Intercultural Dialogue through Community Media Project is to increase integration and intercultural understanding in society and at local and community levels through the promotion of the diverse cultures and identities of third country nationals (non-EU nationals).

Participants will complete a FETAC Level 4 course in community radio and form a production team to create a series of 13 radio programmes on the theme of intercultural dialogue to be broadcast on Near90fm.

The project will run from late April to mid-September 2011 and participants will be required to attend one full day per week for 7 weeks for FETAC training and thereafter 3 hours per week, for planning and producing the radio series.

If you are an Irish or non-EU national interested in participating or would like further information, please contact:
