UNESCO/OneWorld International Launch Training Video on Radio-browsing Techniques
30-04-2002 (Paris)
A video training module on radio-browsing technique, produced by UNESCO and OneWorld International, is now available on UNESCO's community multimedia centre webpage. The video training module is intended to develop the skills of community radio and local FM radio presenters in developing countries.
In a radio browsing programme, the radio presenter becomes the interface between the listener and the Internet. This formula offers mass, indirect access in local languages to online information that is discussed, shared and contextualised on air.
Radio browsing is a key activity of community multimedia centres (CMCs), which combine community radio with a public access telecentre. The radio browsing programme raises awareness of the value of digital resources, overcomes language and other barriers to access and encourages individuals to come to the telecentre to learn how to use ITCs.
In addition to the English original, French and Spanish versions of the training module will be produced and the video will be available for free downloading and distributed on CD Rom and video to training institutions. The video is the first of what will become a complete suite of training materials currently being prepared by UNESCO to meet the need for new training inputs that match the new uses being made of ICTsby broadcasters and community telecentre managers for community development.
