Sample agendas for community radio workshops
Sample agendas
The following are three examples of potential agendas for 2 hour participatory workshops. When planning agendas, leave appropriate time for food, host group welcome or program, breaks, or other considerations. These show how exercises can be combined or build off of each other to work towards the goal of the workshop. Taking time to prepare for each workshop and state a goal and purpose for each workshop will help you to choose how to build the agenda.
Each of these agendas uses our Popular Education Tools.
