| For the
first time in Luton in October 2000, Diverse FM created the opportunity for
sixty different local organisations to take part in one project to promote their work for
free.
|
It was possible to empower many groups from diverse backgrounds by:
 |
Giving
broadcasting and recording equipment training. |
|
Training
them to present the show on their own. |
|
Assisting
them in writing scripts for their own broadcasts. |
|
Encouraging
them to speak about different life experiences live on air, and exchange thoughts and
ideas on issues that affect them in their communities. |
|
Interview
each other in their own private environments by using the pre-recording system provided. |
This year, Diverse FM will be returning to the airwaves 15th July to 11th August,with funding from the Luton Health Action Zone and Luton Lives.
