Community Media/Isabel/Noda Thogna

= Noda Thogna - Our Seas = This is one of the four learning programmes to be developed over three months starting November 2009. The programme was designed at the participatory planning workshop held in Buala, Oct 20-22, 2009. It will be further reviewed and developed in the content and skills workshops to be held in the host communities (and this wiki page will be updated accordingly). The programmes will predominately feature FM radio but the learners will be supported via other media and channels.
