  • A Handbook for Youth Empowerment Through Media Participation
    A Handbook for Youth Empowerment Through Media Participation Based on a project co-designed and co-delivered by the National Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcasters’ Council (NEMBC), The Centre for Multicultural Youth (CMY) and SYN Media in association with Radio Adelaide Training By Rachael Bongiorno from the National Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcasters’ Council 2012. Photo of participants, trainers and project partners in SYN Media studio. All photos in this report were taken by Khalid Omar 2 Introduction Engagement with media is crucial for young people from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds. It provides an opportunity for CALD youth to express themselves in a society in which their perspectives are often marginalised, stereotyped or ignored. This handbook shows you how to develop a training program to equip culturally diverse young people who are not yet involved in broadcasting with the skills, knowledge, enthusiasm and networks for ongoing participation in the media. We particularly want to encourage radio stations to deliver programs like this in collaboration with community organisations servicing migrant and refugee young people. The handbook can also be used by government, community groups and private organisations in the same way. Mercy Ngun Ceu With Australia’s mainstream media, coming into sharp criticism recently for not representing the cultural diversity of this country , training projects such as this are important as ever to diversify media in Australia, increase the number of CALD journalists and provide the public with an understanding of diverse experiences and perspectives. The National Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcasters’ Council (NEMBC) is acutely aware that culturally diverse young people are not just underrepresented in the mainstream media but underrepresented in community broadcasting as well.
