Community Radio Training
Buenos Aires, Argentina
May 6-14, 2006

May 2006 VOA held a training in Buenos Aires on “Community Radio Stations in the International News Context.” A total of 13 community radio participants from six countries attended the workshop. Countries represented included: Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.

The training program served as an opportunity for community radio stations in countries with similar political concerns to establish connections for future collaborations through VOA. The seminar was well received and proved to be an excellent forum for strengthening ties and securing loyalty among community radio affiliates in the Andean region in Buenos Aires, a region where communities are often remote and hard to reach.
