"In times of various backlashes concerning women’s and migrants’ rights as well as increasing inequalities and conflicts on both local and global levels, it is important to strengthen areas where people affected by those restrictions and changes can talk about their perspectives. Community media is one of those areas where voices underrepresented in mainstream media can be heard. It was chosen as a tool for this project because it is open to everyone who wants to get involved, get active and become engaged citizens – irrespective of their education, language skills, abilities and much more.The aim of the project was to build the capacity of individuals producing or interested in producing community media, particularly women and migrants and for the staff members of the partner organisations to exchange good practices in training methods. As the partners in this project had different ""specializations"", experiences, and covered a wide range of issues and target groups (women, migrants, students, activists, NGO-staff) another aim of the project was to exchange those specializations: gender, migration and conflict resolution, as well as to present the outcomes of the project to a broader public.The three partner organizations – Frauensolidarität/Austria (FS), Cyprus Community Media Centre/Cyprus (CCMC) and Panjabi Centre/United Kingdom (PC) – brought together their specific expertise and experiences in working with women, ethnic minorities and on using community media as a mediator in conflict situations. FS organizes and hosts events with international experts, has published a quarterly magazine since 1982, has produced a weekly community radio programme since 2005, implements projects, produces educational material (such as the ""toolkit"" series on labour rights, or a study on women's rights and media) and runs a library in cooperation with two other organizations. Frauensolidarität also provides media training for women and girls. CCMC is the leading community media organization in Cyprus. In addition to running media and communications training programmes for civil society groups, CCMC has launched an online volunteer-based multilingual community radio station – MYCYradio – the first of its kind in Cyprus, specifically targeting and empowering communities and disadvantaged groups that are marginalised by the mainstream media. PC runs a 24/7 community radio station (Desi Radio) and offers radio and computer training for men, women and young people across the community. They organise Panjabi cultural events to empower women through song, folk dancing, storytelling and acting. One main outcome of the project was to exchange knowledge and practices between the organizations about working with volunteers and different training methods. For the transnational project meetings the partner organizations met in Vienna (Austria), Nicosia (Cyprus) and London (United Kingdom) and conducted workshops - particularly for women and migrants - and organized meetings. They created sustainable partnerships and contacts as they set common ground on how to work jointly on building the capacity and significance and empowering the potential of community media. The transnational project meetings brought together activists from different organizations and backgrounds. The workshops provided safe spaces where women/migrant activists could share experiences and gain a theoretical framework that connected women's and migrants’ rights and conflict resolution with communication rights as well as with practical training exchange on the use of community media. To get a broader picture on gender, migration and conflict resolution, the project partners interviewed each other, as well as other organizations that work in the three fields and produced short broadcasts. Those were published on a CD and presented to a wider audience at their last meeting in Vienna. Additionally they produced handouts about presenting a radio programme/podcast, creating radio documentaries and radio dramas. All media outputs can be downloaded from the partners’ websites and used without restrictions. Because of this project, the participants of the workshops increased their skills to work within community media and gained further knowledge on the topics gender, conflict resolution and migration. They were empowered to produce media interventions and got more involved in community media work on an international level. The impact on the organizations was a greater amount of international cooperation and an intense exchange on the topics, training methods and the experience of working with volunteers. Awareness was raised by other stakeholders (students, activists, NGO-staff, adult education organizations) of the existence, importance and empowering potential of community media as an important player within the media landscape, interest on producing community media was increased and this spread the knowledge that people can take ownership of community media."
