"Una excelente introducción a la técnica de emisoras radiofónicas para un público no especializado. Resultado de talleres de capacitación entre 1991 y 1993, este libro es explícitamente didáctico: utiliza un lenguaje claro, explica los "términos técnicos" con ejemplos concretos y se concent

ra en los aspectos más importantes. Después de explicar los conceptos básicos de electricidad en general con sus diferentes elementos electrónicos, válvulas y impedancias, describe detalladamente la función y la técnica de transmisores, antenas, lineas de transmisión, audio y instrumentos de medición. Es de esperar que todos los que trabajan en radio - no solamente los técnicos - utilicen esta publicación." (CAMECO Media Forum)

erience is needed before most of us become accomplished facilitators. If you are a trained facilitator and wish to use the methods and techniques outlined herein with a group of like-minded people who wish to experiment, you should have no problem. On the other hand, if you are going to use it with an external group who are not particularly familiar with participatory techniques, a good deal of discussion and planning is required. Above all, it is important for the professional facilitator to deeply understand the objectives of a group event. If you detect that top management has a particular agenda in mind and merely wants to transmit it to employees, or to manipulate their staff to a point of view for some unspoken reason, professional facilitators must explain that their job is not to manipulate, that VIPP methods involve true participation and that ulterior motives will become transparent in the process. It is better not to start a participatory process if those responsible are not prepared to accept a different outcome than they expect." (How to use this manual, page ix)

children with disabilities. In 1989, the Special Education Unit of UNESCO launched a new initiative in parent and community education. The aim was to test the feasibility of producing video programmes in developing countries which could be used to inform families and communities about ways of overcoming children’s disabilities. Two consultants - Roy McConkey (Scotland) and Sally Allan (Zimbabwe) - worked alongside partner agencies in Uganda, Malawi and Sri Lanka. This Manual outlines the rationale behind the project and how it was carried out. The training packages produced in the three countries are described along with details of their use. Information is also given about other video-based packages and training resources designed for use in developing countries. Practical details are provided on the organisation of local courses and in the use of video-equipment. A final section examines the steps involved in devising training inputs." (Introduction)
