[cma-l] Health Projects workshop at Community Media Conference

[Phil Korbel]

Hi all

Radio Regen is running a workshop on Saturday afternoon in Brum, so I
thought I'd let you know what we've got in mind - and maybe test the water
a bit.

Together with ALLFM we're about to start our 'Health FM' project - funded
by the Community Radio Fund.  In short, the project will enable more
stations to deliver health projects.  We're convinced that community radio
is a highly effective platform for health projects so we're going to see
who's doing what in the field at the moment, why it works (or not) and give
stations help to create their own projects.  Because we're nice like that,
we will also be offering a little bit of funding along with the advice that
we can offer  to some stations to participate (don't get too excited, it is
only a little).

By 'health' we really do mean the whole range - public health, primary
care, acute care, old age and mental health.

We want the workshops to be a chance for us to meet stations already doing
this sort of work or those that might be interested in so doing. It's very
much the start of the project (so we will not be handing out cash!) so we'd
like to lay the foundations of an informal network of stations interested
in the field.  We won't talk at you too much and we very much want to hear
about your experiences and needs in taking this sort of work further.

I'd welcome your comments now - and if you have specific questions feel
free to email me directly.  Also - if you like the sound of the project but
have the temerity to miss the conference - drop me a line and we can
arrange a chat.

See you on Saturday,

best wishes


Phil

Please note that I work at Radio Regen under 2 days a week so responses
might not be as quick as we'd like.  Many thanks.
