Project Summary:

Some broadcasters at 3ZZZ of more established ethnic communities have expressed some reluctance to empathise with new and emerging communities resulting in a degree of resentment and tension. A forum and production workshops will be held for broadcasters and members of new and emerging communities to help them send messages of harmony to their communities and the wider community. The participants will produce 30 radio features tackling racism and promoting harmony, which will be broadcast on 3ZZZ and distributed on CD to community radio stations around Australia .
