<p class="MsoNormal"><b>The Community Radio Skills Sessions</b> - A series of extremely affordable half day seminars to
introduce your team to some ‘must have’ skills to run a thriving community
radio station, delivered by the Community Radio Foundation* and BECTU.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Summary: </b>Highly affordable training and
networking sessions in Manchester delivered by BECTU’s Learning Co-ordinator Alison Surtees, Somer Valley FM’s Dom Chambers and the
Radio Regen team, on <b>Weds 24<sup>th</sup>
Feb </b>and <b>Tues 15<sup>th</sup> Mar</b>. The sessions are introductory and delegates’
further learning needs will be assessed for future events. Wherever possible, supporting materials will
be provided.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Detail: </b>The programme will start with a buffet
lunch where the learners and trainers can get to know each other, followed by
the training sessions, a feedback session, and an informal early evening
networking social.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Delegates will be mainly drawn from community radio stations
within half a day’s travel of Manchester,
with an emphasis on licensed stations in the North of England. Learners should be actively involved in the
management of their station but can be paid staff or volunteers. The programme is only open to not-for-profit
bodies such as charities, social enterprises and co-operatives.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>A £10 non-refundable
admin fee</b> is payable per person for each half day session. Each station can register one delegate on
each day (in order to maximise the number of stations that can attend) but ‘plus
one’ standby places can also be booked for no fee (fee payable if place
confirmed).</p>
