CROSSTALK
This project is supported by the EU-programme Grundtvig / Lifelong
Learning. Coordinator: Dr. Traudel Guennel /
University of Education Freiburg, Germany.
Crosstalk encourages groups who are at the
margins of society - older people, migrants, minority ethnic communities –
to tell their stories, training them in the skills needed to bring personal
discourse into the public domain. These are stories mostly ignored or
marginalised by mainstream media, but particularly well suited to community
radio which has a tradition of giving a ‘voice to the voiceless’.
The project aims not just to give the story-tellers digital competence
(recording, editing, internet radio, web design) but to engage in
‘crosstalk’ which moves between generations and cultures and includes a
critique of mainstream media conventions and exclusions. Sustainability
beyond the project’s lifetime is envisaged.
This website will be continuously updated during the project.
