Young Persons Radio Academy

supported by

Following the success of last year's Academy, young people living in the Salisbury area will once again be able to participate in the Young Persons Radio Academy. The scheme aims to teach the basic skills of broadcasting to under 16's and many of the programmes and features produced by the Academy will be heard on-air during our summer broadcast.

The scheme is open to youngsters in the 11-16 year age group who have an interest in learning how to become presenters, interviewers and producers.

Academy members had the chance to visit Spire FM and Hospital Radio Odstock.

Above, members meet Spire FM presenter Martin Starke, whilst below members get to go on air with Radio Odstcok Chairman David Langrish

A series of practical workshops held every other weekend will teach basic skills in interviewing, presentation, editing and production..
Confident youngsters will also have the opportunity to become co-presenters during the broadcast and perhaps present their own programmes.

 

The workshops are staffed by experienced and qualified teachers, adult helpers and Radio Industry professionals.

Everyone who attends the Academy workshops will receive a Certificate of Achievement along with an audio archive of the work they have produced.

Space in the Academy is limited.
