Training on Youth TV, puppet on ECD of youth radio
In 2012, US Embassy supported Youth Radio
training in Vientiane capital for 13 provinces of Lao PDR. They also provide
some fund for capacity building of one provincial youth radio. LNR suggested refreshing
train Luangnamtha youth radio since this is UNICEF learning zone.
Therefore the Lao National Radio is planning to
organize youth radio listener group training in Luangnamtha province. At the
same time, Youth Radio and TV team from central would like to organize a TV
training for young TV presenters in Luangnamtha based on Annual Workplan 2013
Therefore trainings
on youth TV and puppetry were organized in Luangnamtha from 19 – 22 April 2013
for young people with support from US Embassy and UNICEF. At the same time
three Northern provinces (Bokeo, Oudoamxay and Houaphan) also expressed their
interest to attend the trainings. The Information, Culture and Tourism of these
three provinces contribute some cost for travelling and perdiem for their
participants…
...Participants were divided into 2 groups: Youth TV and
puppetry….
The TV training started with showing a sample of
youth TV from Vientiane Capital and Houaphanh province. After that we introduce
draft ECD TV and then discuss about the TV format for Luangnamtha
During the last day of the training, participants have
the changes to go to Ban Nakham, Sing district of Luangnamtha province to meet
with listener groups and perform puppetry, practice news gathering for radio
and TV.
Next step:
1. Luangnamtha youth TV should practice
more and launch the first youth TV
2. Luangnamtha, Bokeo, Oudomxay and
Houaphan provinces should produce more puppets after the training, write new
short drama and rehearse and be able to
perform in rural village during outreach activity
. Lao National Radio will continue to
technically support only provincial youth TV and puppetry by phone
. Youth radio team in Southern provinces
also request for puppetry training.
