Specific Methodologies And Resources for Radio Trainers

Training in community media addresses communities and individuals who often are not represented by the mainstream media. Furthermore the skills people learned out of their community radio work often are not recognized as skills related to lifelong learning or vocational education and training. In many countries persons who are active in community media belong to ethnic, cultural or social minorities, e.g. immigrants, people with specific needs, specific age groups. These groups require specific trainings to acquire the skills needed to make radio. SMART aims to facilitate trainers in the design and delivering of training to specific target groups by offering an on-line resource and skills in training delivery and methodologies that will be appropriated to the needs of trainees. The partners in this project previously took part in a Grundtvig LLP called Intercultural Media Literacy, which came to an end in June 2011. As part of this project the partners reviewed and piloted some of the activities included in the Inter.Media training manual. However, during the project we realised that awareness, the trainer’s skills, methodologies and delivery of materials and resources available for trainers when working with specific groups were not enough. Also, during the review of the materials, the trainers of the project partners involved into the IML agreed on the need to adapt their skills and methodologies not only to specific target groups, but also for materials and resources to be adapted and presented so to facilitate the trainer when it comes to course design. There are only a few European-wide certifications on Community Radio training. This project aims to facilitate Community Radio training in establishing the same syllabus in the partner’s countries, to aid with course design and delivery, to decide on the right methodologies for this training and to disseminate our results to other trainers in Europe.
