The Latin American and Caribbean Community Center (LACCC) was formed in September of 2003 as a community based organization to address the diverse political, economic and cultural needs of the growing Latino and Caribbean populations in the southern region of the United States, with a special emphasis on the most marginalized element of the Latino community – Afro Latinos.
Enhancing the capacity of base building organizations that work in the Latino and Caribbean communities is a central focus of LACCC’s work. Toward that, the LACCC provides an array of trainings to activists and grassroots organizations. Over the last 7 years LACCC trainings and programmatic work has concentrated on the area of anti-oppression, migrant rights as human rights and popular and alternative media.
LACCC with a grant from the Simón Bolívar Foundation (SBF) is hosting the third instalment of its Diaspora Media Institute in November 2011
This 3rd instalment of the LACCC Media Institute 2011: Gender, Migration and Human Rights will be offering an intensive training for individuals and organizations interested in learning how to produce media or sharpen up their existing media skills. The training workshop will cover issues around alternative media and political activism as they relate to the Bronx. It seeks to directly increase the quality and quantity of investigative and informational audio segments and programs that have a gender, migration and human rights component in the Bronx, that will reach immigrant, women, LGBT, and youth communities and/or groups through public and independent radio, podcasts, websites, and CD’s. The institute will also promote a culture of participation within radio and other technologies that have been historically limited to women including trans-identified women.
Last date for submission of application is September 26, 2011
