Dear All,

Community Media and the Arab Spring panel.
The event is now glad to welcome new supporters for the initiative:
apart from European Union under the 'Europe for Citizens Programme

Cyprus (UNDP-ACT), we have the pleasure to add the Goethe Institute in
Nicosia, Cyprus, the World Association of Community Radio broadcasters
(AMARC) and International Media Support (IMS) who will respectively
provide another venue for the conference in the Buffer zone and
financial support for the Community Media and the Arab Spring panel.
It has been a year of tremendous growth for CMFE, that now counts a
total of 90 members from 23 European countries: 39 Individual Members
and 51 Organizational Members, of which 25 are (National) Federations.
Among its affiliate members it counts also individuals and organisations
from Africa, Asia and North America.
The Nicosia conference will be one of the key community media events of
this year in Europe, expected to bring together over 100 conference
participants from all over Europe and include members from North America
and a special plenary on Community Media and Arab Spring, organized by
World Association of Community Radio broadcasters (AMARC) in
collaboration with CMFE, and support of IMS and the Europe for Citizens
Programme (EACEA) that will bring together key activists from the Middle
East and North Africa.
Five plenary session will include 24 contributions, where parallel
sessions and workshops are expected to deliver a further 43
contributions. Representatives from the media regulatory authorities
from Albania, the Czech Republic, Cyprus and United Kingdom will be
