Opportunity for Community Radios in South Asia to Participate in Internet
Broadcasting Workshop

In the past few years in South Asian countries there have been a
remarkable progress in the development of community radios. Liberalization
of broadcast policies by the states and formulation of community radio
policies in South Asian countries like Bangladesh and India have led to
the establishment of remarkable number of community radios in these
countries.

Opening up of the community radios in South Asia has definitely provided
the opportunities for the marginalized communities to voice for themselves
and have given voice to the voiceless. Amongst the opportunities there
however are challenges, amongst others, like raising the voice of the
communities at much higher levels. How the voices of communities raised by
the community radios can be raised at the national, regional and
international levels? The
opportunity for this lies in the application of new media technologies for
Internet broadcasting. The community radios by having the capacity on
Internet broadcasting can raise their voice beyond the community level to
the national, regional and international levels.

To address the need for the community radios to build their capacity to
raise their voice beyond the community level, Panos South Asia is
organizing a five-day workshop exclusively for community radios in South
Asia titled 'Internet Broadcasting for Community Radios in South Asia' at
its Media Centre in Kathmandu, Nepal from 13 - 17 September 2010. The
five-day workshop shall orient the community radios on the concept and
applications of Internet broadcasting, and hands-on on actually creating
Internet radio or broadcasting. It will also be an opportunity for
community radio practitioners in South Asia to network and share
knowledge.

Community radios from only South Asian countries who are interested to
attend this workshop may apply by filling out the attached application
form and submitting it by e-mail to <mailto:prsa@panosradiosouthasia.org>
prsa@panosradiosouthasia.org by 15 July 2010. All the costs for attending
the workshop shall be covered by Panos South Asia. ONLY selected
applicants who meet the criteria for participating in the workshop shall
be informed about the outcome of their applications by 10 August 2010.
