Community Radio Workshop Nepal

Twelve highly motivated Nepalis from different parts of the country have just completed a two-week forray into the wonderful world of community radio.  For most, this was the first time they’d laid their hands on a computer let alone made a radio programme.  Yet by the end of the workshop, all of them had successfully scripted, interviewed, recorded and edited their first radio programmes which were then broadcast via a Feba Chrysolite “suitcase studio”. This workshop marks the launch of CoRIN, the community radio initiative Nepal, a partnership project between a local non-government organisation, Human Development and Community Services (HDCS) and Feba Radio.  Our desire is to use community radio and extended services to bring about a positive and holistic transformation in the communities in which we work.  Five licences for different parts of the country have been granted, and we hope to be on air with the first station by the end of June, at a place called Dadeldhura in Western Nepal.  Watch this space!
