3ZZZ expects to trial Swahili broadcasting Wednesday mornings, 7-8 am, March through to June, 2008. Training is provided free as part of the 'Starting Out' radio training project sponsored by the City of Yarra.
The 'Starting Out' project commenced in 2006, and specifically aims to train former refugees and others from so called 'emerging communities'.
Current trainees include Swahili speakers from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Kenya. Mr Kinyango, chair of the African Great Lakes Association in Melbourne, has also expressed interest in learning about how to make local community radio.
Several trainees from various parts of Africa have been broadcasting in English on 3ZZZ 92.3FM attempting to cover issues important to African-Australian women in Melbourne.
Participation in Starting Out radio training at 3ZZZ is encouraged from anyone with an interest in immigration, settlement, and the welfare former refugees living in Australia. Training is free.
