radio stations in Zambia.

The theme of this year's Conference is ‘Voices in a Changing World’ and we
will be exploring how community media stays relevant and responsive to
global events that impact at a local level, and how diverse voices and
viewpoints strengthen communities for positive social benefit.

There will also be information on funding, community media business models,
fostering community development, and an update on SSDAB.

The Community Media Conference brings together broadcasters, producers,
community developers, publishers, media enthusiasts, creatives and
academics for a day of learning, exchange, and celebration with inspiring
speakers, workshops and networking opportunities.
