Emerging Voices Training Program

Emerging Voices 2026 is a training partnership between Powerd Media, ABC Canberra and 1RPH. The Canberra Emerging Voices program will train up to five people living with disability to improve their storytelling confidence and capacity. The training will focus on developing audio storytelling skills and creating entry level radio packages. It will be up to the participants themselves to determine if they wish to create individual audio stories or work in pairs or groups. The training involves an introduction to storytelling, interviewing, structuring stories and the use of recording and editing equipment. ABC Canberra’s Adrienne Francis has designed the course and will be delivering most of the training from ABC Canberra’s headquarters at Dickson.
