Purpose

This session provides a shared foundation for everyone engaging with community, campus, and Indigenous media through NCRA/ANREC. It establishes common language, values, and expectations before participants move into more specialized learning.

This is not skills training. It is context-setting.

Who This Is For

• New volunteers
• New staff
• New Board members
• Anyone returning after time away who wants a refresher

What You’ll Learn

By the end of this session, participants will understand:

• What community, campus, and Indigenous media are — and why they matter
• How NCRA/ANREC supports stations and creators
• Core values, responsibilities, and expectations across the sector
• How learning is structured within the Learning & Development Hub

What’s Included

• Short orientation modules (video or reading)
• Key reference resources
• Optional reflection prompts
• Links to recommended next steps
