Community Radio Around the World

Thursday, 17 December 2009

[creative-radio] At least 140 radios from 50 countries will participate in the Radio1812 event!

For the fourth year in a row, radio stations from across the world will come together to celebrate International Migrants Day by producing, broadcasting and sharing programmes that will make migrants voices heard across the world.

In his statement UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says that: "migration can be a positive and empowering experience for migrants themselves, and for both the home and host societies. But for too many migrants, the reality is discrimination, exploitation and abuse."

As December 18 we aim to raise awareness about these issues and are therefore very pleased with the continued and growing participation of radios, community-based as well as public and international broadcasters.

A special world map on the front page of the Radio1812 site shows the participating radio stations as well as a list of events to celebrate International Migrants Day.

On the site you will also find a selection of the programmes produced by the participants as well as special content which the team at Radio1812 has put together, including:

- An interview with Mr. Alhamid El Jamri, Chair of the UN Committee on Migrant Workers (in French)

- An interview with Greek filmmaker Costa Gravas, who chaired the Civil Society Days at the Global Forum on Migration and Development in Athens (in French)

- A report on Migration and Climate Change (in English)

- An interview with Khalid Louhichi from the League of Arab States on the topic of youth and migration (in French)

- A report on Cartaya, a case study of a circular migration project in Southern Spain (Spanish)

For more information please go to www.radio1812.net or send a message to radio1812@december18.net

Urgent - Crisis in #Copenhagen petition #cop15

Urgent - Crisis in Copenhagen

Hi,

I just joined over 13 million people in the world's largest-ever campaign
to keep us all safe.

There has never been a more important time to add your name - our message
is being delivered to leaders at the Copenhagen climate summit later this
week.

Please add your voice now at

http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_copenhagen/98.php?CLICK_TF_TRACK

Thanks!

With three days to go, the crucial Copenhagen summit is failing.

The world's leaders arrive for an unprecedented 60 hours of direct
negotiations. Experts agree that without a tidal wave of public pressure
for a deal, the summit will not stop catastrophic global warming of 2
degrees.

Click below to sign the petition for a real deal in Copenhagen -- the
campaign already has a staggering 13 million supporters - let's make it
the largest petition in history in the next 72 hours! Every single name is
actually being read out at the summit -- sign on at the link below and
forward this email to everyone!

http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_copenhagen/98.php?CLICK_TF_TRACK

An Avaaz team is meeting daily with negotiators inside the summit who will
organize a spectacular petition delivery to world leaders as they arrive,
building a giant wall of boxes of names and reading out the names of every
person who signs. With the largest petition in history, leaders will have
no doubt that the whole world is watching.

Millions watched the Avaaz vigil inside the summit on TV yesterday, where
Archbishop Desmond Tutu told hundreds of delegates and assembled children:

"We marched in Berlin, and the wall fell.
"We marched for South Africa, and apartheid fell.
"We marched at Copenhagen -- and we WILL get a Real Deal."

Copenhagen is seeking the biggest mandate in history to stop the greatest
threat humanity has ever faced. History will be made in the next few days.
How will our children remember this moment? Let's tell them we did all we
could.

http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_copenhagen/98.php?CLICK_TF_TRACK

With hope,

Ricken, Alice, Ben, Paul, Luis, Iain, Veronique, Graziela, Pascal, Paula,
Benjamin, Raj, Raluca, Taren, David, Josh and the whole Avaaz team.

[creative-radio] Free Access to Citizens’ Media journal issue

--- Apologies for cross-posting----

Development in Practice is enabling free full-text access and reduced
price print copies of the recent special issue on Citizens' Media to
support and highlight Conversations with the Earth, an indigenous-led
multimedia campaign exhibiting in Copenhagen at COP15.

For more details and to watch the indigenous participatory videos visit
http://www.developmentinpractice.org/conversationsearth

Free access to the publication is available at
http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/title~db=all~content=g913327026

Conversations with the Earth (CWE) is an indigenous-led multimedia
campaign to amplify indigenous voices on Climate Change. A collaboration
between indigenous communities, journalists, photographers, designers,
and participatory video facilitators. CWE is initially present as an
exhibition in Copenhagen, supporting live presentations by
representatives of several indigenous communities as delegates gather
for the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of
the Parties meeting (COP15).

The Citizens' Media special issue, Volume 19 (4&5) is guest edited by
Jethro Pettit, Juan Francisco Salazar, and Alfonso Gumucio Dagron.

Citizens' media and communication are still poorly understood in the
mainstream of development policy and practice – and are prone to
simplistic forms of implementation, because of the lack of a coherent
grasp of the social, cultural, and political processes that make them
transformative. Introducing the articles in this guest issue, the
authors find that citizens' media is about more than bringing diverse
voices into pluralist politics: it contributes to processes of social
and cultural construction, redefining norms and power relations that
exclude people. Local ownership and control of their own media can allow
people to reshape the spaces in which their voices find expression.

Table of contents

Development in Practice, Volume 19 Issue 4 & 5 2009

Special issue: Citizen's Media and communication
Now 8 issues per year

Augusto Boal (1931-2009)
We dedicate this special issue to the memory of Augusto Boal, the
Brazilian director and playwright whose 'Theatre of the Oppressed'
inspired countless activists worldwide to bring theatre, art, media, and
communication into their work for social change. Boal created a critical
and mobilising kind of theatre for 'humanising humanity', where actors
mix with people in the streets and on public transport, and spectators
become 'spect-actors'. His work spread to many countries and evolved
into methods like Forum Theatre, Legislative Theatre, Journalists'
Theatre, Theatre of the Factory, Theatre of the Office, and many others.
Augusto Boal affirmed that 'the theatre is all of us' - and that through
it we can reveal the power that shapes our lives, transforms the
silences, and overcomes oppression. May his work live on and continue to
inspire.
