The community radio conference across the countries of Asia pacific region held from November 16-19, 2018 was attended by 235 participants from 14 countries. Participants included community broadcasters, freedom of expression activists, community mobilizers, members of academia and representatives of donor organizations and government agencies.
Considering the general political and social atmosphere of rising radicalism and extremism in the region, the conference was aptly entitled 'community radios for building resilient societies'. The conference considered a wider definition of resilience by linking it to the role of community radios in support of the struggle by the common people against political and social onslaught that threatens freedom of expression, right to information & communication and aids growing inequalities in our societies. Through interactive panel discussions and workshops, participants discussed issues ranging from migration to gender based violence, from climate change & disaster risk reduction to widening social and economic inequalities. Outcomes of the conference will collectively dorm AMARC's strategic plan of actions for the Asia-Pacific region for advancing freedom of expression and community development through community radios.
The conference served a multitude of objectives including advocacy for community broadcasting, sharing of good practices, and strengthening network of community radios in the region.
