Listening and learning are also the essential ingredients of the two leading MITIL 02 Workshops - as the two revolve around the same theme - "Training".

1. For those who are television-oriented, there will be a Workshop, organised and presented by experts from three International and European organisations: UNESCO, and from Brussels, Audiovisual EUREKA and EGTA.

In fact, this Workshop will be sub-divided into 3 separate "workshops", plus sessions, spread over a period of 2 days (June 13 + 14), all targeted at the development of Independent and Local Broadcasters.

2. For our radio-oriented participants, they have the possibility to attend a full-day workshop (June 13), organised and presented by ProRadio from Milan.

This Workshop will focus on an analysis and the structural profile of three of the main "jobs" in local radio - the presenter, the editor and the producer.

TWO WORKSHOPS GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU THINK AND LEAVE MITIL 02 WITH, WE ARE CERTAIN, NEW IDEAS FOR YOUR FORWARD PLANNING.
