WEBINAR: Breaking barriers in community media through collaborative training and mentoring

Join us to learn about how CMTO's Audio Ability has revolutionised community broadcast training by putting people with disability at the centre of planning, design and delivery of training.

The 16-week program breaks barriers, empowering people with disability and taps into an underrepresented cohort of volunteers. We are passing the mic to the participants of Audio Ability to listen to their experiences.

Date: 3-4pm AEDT, Tuesday 14 November, 2023
