OutLoud in Pennsylvania: voice your opinions, share your stories, and unleash your creativity.
(Sara Klemann, Brenda Landis & Joy Verner, Dickinson College)
Join us at the 2013 GSA Leadership Summit to learn more about how to use radio or podcasting as a grassroots tool for change in Central PA. Learn how to interview, edit and produce quality audio pieces, discussing issues that are relevant to you. Then return to your communities and create content to send back to Dickinson for broadcast on WDCV, the college’s radio station. The show will be modeled after OutLoud Radio, a youth radio project intended to increase the well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer young people by helping them develop the skills and confidence to decide for themselves how they will be represented, advance social justice and make the most of their lives.
