Introduction to webcasting

Free Information Session

We would like to invite you to this free information session on webcasting, to be held at The Showroom Cinema, Sheffield on the 9th June 2006

Webcasting - what is it?

Could it help your community to communicate and develop its creativity?

Now you can watch a TV programme on the Internet or listen to a radio programme you've downloaded whenever you like...

And you can also use this same technology to make your own media accessible to the wider world. Community based groups have experimented with lots of creative ideas such as:

• putting oral history recordings on a website so that a community can access its history
• making animations produced by children available for watching at home
• putting video clips on a website that celebrate the strengths and diversity of a community
• showing children's football matches on line
• reaching audiences across the world for specialist music
• allowing the whole world to access a local community radio station.

If you want to learn more about these ideas and how to put them into action, this workshop might be for you.

The morning will include:

• An opportunity to hear from groups that are already webcasting
• Guidance on how to start webcasting
• A trip into the future looking at what technology might make possible

There will be a jargon busting sheet for the technically challenged and the chance to ask lots of questions.

Come and explore the world of podcasting, vodcasting and blogging!

The session will be held from 10:00am till 1.00pm on the 9th June 2006 at The Showroom Cinema (Cinema 5), Sheffield (directions included).

Refreshments will be provided.
