About the Programme

This programme is brought to the Access Radio community by the Wellington Workers Education Association. The WWEA is part of a national federation of WEA's whose history goes back just over 90 years. WEA's provide educative opportunities for workers - be they retired, unpaid or paid. Nation-wide we provide a diverse range of opportunities and methods.

The radio programme is based around interviews with presenters at WWEA’s weekly forums. This year they have been around issues about the environment and what we called People Power. These range from youth workers campaigning for decent wages, anarchists organising a community garden and other activities as a hands on way of wresting power from the state and capitalism, how the community can interact with local authorities to have a real say, the democracy movement in Tonga, Grey Power, responding to Peak Oil and a number of other issues.

It is planned to develop and broadcast an "oral history" archive about the campaigns WWEA members have been involved in, such as the 1951 Waterfront dispute, the struggle for gender pay equity, the 1981 Springbok Tour and the 1991 Employment Contact Act-benefit cuts campaign and much more.

The orientation of the programmes is on how campaigners and groups develop to educate in a wider context.
