Exploring ‘Community’ on the Institute of Ideas
Posted by Millie on 20th February 2012What does ‘community’ mean to you? Are all communities for everybody? Are there hidden communities, are they in our imagination? …does ‘community’ even exist at all?
February’s Institute of Ideas welcomes back a host of programmes, and this month’s theme is ‘Community‘. Listen in on Sunday 26th Feb for music, literature and ideas direct from the valleys.
2pm – 2.30
Listen in to Rev Joanne Archer’s debut programme, with thoughts on community from the Reverend’s point-of-view.
2.30 – 3.30 – Sunday Roast
Sharon and Ali from Slaithwaite Community Centre explore the theme of ‘community’ in Slaithwaite. How do we define ‘community’, and what different communities are in the area?3.30 – 4pm – Notes from the Band Room
Back after a break from his regular brass band programme, Clive Waind introduces us to some brass music, and speaks to a member of a local band about the culture of brass bands.
4pm – 4.45 – Holmfirth Writers Group – Community
After a very succesful debut collection last month, Holmfirth Writers Group return with a programme of poems, short stories and radio dramas, all based around the theme of ‘Community’.

Arts Award Success!
Posted by Millie on 20th February 2012We’d like to congratulate five of our hard-working volunteers for passing their Bronze Arts Awards!
Our volunteers put in so much for Two Valleys Radio, we thought… why not give them something back? So alongside their work on the radio, some of them have been creating portfolios which demonstrate their learning, and show how they’ve shared their new skills with others. Their portfolios were assessed, and all five passed with flying colours.
So congratulations Meg, Rachel, Rosie, Hayley and Ruby!
We’ve now started a new group off so hopefully it wont be long until you’re hearing even more success stories from our volunteers.
