Planning an FM Radio Special Event

Please note: This is an outline for an online course
on planning and implementing an FM radio special event.
It was originally prepared to support the development
of the Burnt Islands Sharing Our Future community media youth group.

This information may be of use to any community media group interested
in community radio.

In 2011 and 2012 social networking became an essential component of our community media projects.

for a grassroots, participatory, community media centre.

The course also refers to the Tuning in to Climate Change project (2003).
A goal of that project was to share information
with groups interested in grassroots, participatory radio.

In 2008 we prepared further material for workshops leading to
the use of community radio at the Trails, Tales and Tunes festival in Bonne Bay.
