Be Heard!
Victorian Government's Be Heard! program provides young Victorians with more opportunities to have their voices heard on community radio stations
To encourage young people's participation in community radio in rural and regional areas, the Victorian Government will assist with funding to provide:
- Workshops in community radio production
- Linking people to their local stations
- Funding to allow station facilities to be upgraded
- Community radio lets young people develop skills and career pathways in radio
- broadcasting. It also promotes local events and opportunities, and showcases the talent and achievements of people in your community.
The Victorian Government has committed $200,000 over four years for rural and regional community radio stations to increase the participation of young people, particularly in production and broadcasting.
The Be Heard! program will provide grants of up to $5000 to community radio stations in rural and regional Victoria to run training workshops in radio broadcasting and also to provide mentoring for young people so they can produce live-to-air shows.
