Community radio has the power to bring communities together. Effective communication skills are required to understand and summarize topics. This workshop helped the participants to learn key skills to communicate their personal stories to connect with their peers. Radio helps to “socialize” during the COVID-19 isolation and foster mental health. We plan to use these skills to effectively communicate about local environmental issues.
