The Europe office of the World Association of Community Radio
Broadcasters (AMARC) is holding the 2nd AMARC Pan-European

"It will give particular attention to the role of community radio
in relation to migrants, refugees, and ethnic minorities in the
context of the changes in European political boundaries and the
rapidly expanding media landscape." Suggested workshop topics
include: xenophobia and mother-tongue broadcasting, good media
laws - changing legislation, build your own FM transmitter,
training for women's radio, and the Internet - networking for
community radio. The theme of the women's day on 16 October is
"Women's Voices Crossing Frontiers". AMARC-Europe says, "It will
be a chance for women in community radio to meet, discuss,
interlink and develop strategies for empowerment to cross
frontiers and reach out to the airwaves through community radio
all over Europe." For more information, or to register, please
