[Imc-africa] radio/media workshops at the World Social Forum

[Zoe Sullivan]

Hello,

I'd like to subscribe to the list for the media work being prepared for the 
World Social Forum in Nairobi. I got this address from the people at 
Prometheus Radio, who I contacted because I did some work in Kenya this 
summer. In August, I volunteered with the Nairobi-based Center for 
International Voluntary Service, and I recently started talking with them 
about the possibility of setting up a community radio in Kenya. Their site 
is www.civskenya.com

I live in New York, and my work involves immigrants, many of whom are not 
very familiar with technology. Yet over the past 2 years, we have set up an 
Internet radio project and produced many podcasts. As a result of this 
experience, I am comfortable working with people for whom digital media is 
very new.

If you are interested in hearing some of the pieces that we have done, you 
can listen at
www.live365.com/stations/queenscommunityradio
or, you can find some of our initial efforts at
http://geocities.com/queenscommunityradio/fhch.html

My knowledge at this point is related to using CDex and audacity, both of 
which can be downloaded for free. I also have some experience working with a 
hand-held digital voice recorder. However, given the relative cost of 
technology in Africa, I don't think that this would be an option for most 
people.

Anyway, please let me know if my skills would be valuable for workshops 
during the WSF. I would be happy to contribute that way, and I'd be 
interested in participating in the setting up of the radio station.

Zoe


We are the ones we have waited for.
