PBS 106.7FM’s Collaborative Radio Project Wins Victorian Multicultural Award For Excellence.
PBS 106.7FM is pleased to announce its inaugural Collaborative Radio Project has been named among the winners of the Victoria's Multicultural Awards for Excellence 2015, awarded by The Victorian Government and the Victorian Multicultural Commission.
The project, which was developed with Multicultural Arts Victoria to deliver audio documentaries with emerging, refugee and asylum seeker communities in Melbourne, received the VMC’s Media Award in a ceremony held at Government House in Melbourne on Thursday.
The award comes just weeks after the Collaborative Radio Project was awarded in the Excellence in Training category at the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia’s annual awards gala, held in Terrigal, NSW.
The program delivered eight weeks of skills training in storytelling, sound, editing, broadcast law, recording technique and live radio presentation. Following the workshops, participants were linked one-on-one with professional radio makers from PBS, ABC RN and SYN Media, who guided and supported them to create their own radio stories.
A huge congratulations to Homebrew's Maddy Mac, All Our Stories' Jess Fairfax and all the wonderful volunteers and participants involved in this project, which was made possible with the support of MAV and Creative Victoria.
