members of the existing and burgeoning community radio stations in this
corner of the province.
Registration Fee is $40 per
participant.
Payable to Kootenay Coop Radio.
Registration will close on
Wednesday
April 11 at 5pm.
Registration includes a full day of workshops, the David Barsamian talk in the evening, lunch, a wine and cheese social, and coffee and muffins. We will set up a spot for a cd and program exchange.
This conference is part of The Sounds Co-operative Project - a
collaboration between Kootenay Co-op Radio and the National Campus and
Community Radio Association.
The project is working to celebrate 2012-The United Nations
International Year of Co-operatives by promoting co-ops through
community radio, encouraging radio stations to be more co-operative,
and to help emerging stations to set themselves up as co-ops. This
year's conference will feature workshops on co-operation, as well
radio-specific ones like at RCRC2012.
Seed money from RCRC2012 has come from from this project, which will
also support 4 other regional conferences across the country. More
