In celebration of International Day of People with a Disability on 3 December 2010 3CR will again dedicate a day of broadcasting to content created by, for and about people with disabilities.
Tune in on Wednesday 25 August from 11 - 2pm as we broadcast live from the Melbourne Aboriginal Youth, Sport and Recreation (MAYSAR) Gym on Gertrude Street Fitzroy - MAYSAR Manager Glenda Thorpe pictured. Broadcasters Robbie Thorpe, Clare Land, Gilla McGuinness, Josie Atkinson and Joe Geia will host the program which will include roving microphone stories.
Congratulations to 3CR's Jane Curtis (pictured) and all those involved in the People's Tours which today received a Commendation in the Victorian Community History Awards.
You can listen to the award winning tours on the People's Tours website and stay tuned for an exciting new batch of Yarra Tours in the coming months to be broadcast on 3CR 855AM and available online.
Over the coming months 3CR will be recording the voices of 20 women who have recently come to Australia as part of our Accent of Women Snapshots project. The project will give voice to the experience of refugee, asylum seeker and migrant women arriving in Australia and is supported by the Scanlon Foundation.
The Snapshots will be broadcast on Accent of Women and collated in a CD at the end of the year. For more information about this exciting project, or to participate, call the station on 03 9419 8377 or contact Accent of Women producer Sonia Randhawa soniarandhawa1@yahoo.com or specialprojects@3cr.org.au.
