Shalom House Hosts Radio Workshop

The training aimed at equipping participants with radio management skills as well as to prepare a team that will play part in programming and running of the upcoming web radio - mtaaniradio.or.ke.

Radio workshop Shalom House in the last two weeks hosted an eight days radio training workshop coordinated by Koinonia Media centre (KMC) and the Italian public broadcaster RAI Internazionale from 6-14 December.

The training aimed at equipping participants with radio management skills as well as to prepare a team that will play part in programming and running of the upcoming koinonia owned web radio, mtaaniradio.or.ke starting 2012.


Conducted by two of RAI Radio’s professionals; Lorenzo Pavolini and Marcello Anselmo, the workshop saw over 16 youthful participants most of whom are beneficiaries of Koinonia community initiatives, converge at Diakonia Institute to acquire the much desired expertise.

Much of the training were based on practical ways to create, run and manage different sorts of radio programmes and the entire radio station. The prospects are to endow the youthful participants with practical skills ahead of their running of the much anticipated web radio.

The training saw participants engage in a variety of activities including class sessions on how to handle studio equipments, conduct radio interviews  and various outdoor exercises to help them develop different practical operational skills.

At the end of the training, the two facilitators vowed continued support of any kind, possible to see the upcoming radio in operation. They equally challenged the participants who took part in the workshop to exercise further the acquired skills towards realisation of this project.

Many participants expressed satisfaction with the training content but were in a state of sulky discontentment with the short time over which it had to happen, calling for a more detailed similar workshop in future.
