Duration: 4 hours

Introduction:

Advertisers go for the use of these plugs, because with the short airtime given to it, if you come up with an ad catchy enough, people are likely to recall it. It is also for this reason that some non-government organizations like Isis International-Manila went into plug production as a form of awareness raising on the many issues and concerns of women in the region, together with several partners’ organizations. At the end on the one day session the participants would have been able to:

  • Gain basic knowledge on radio plug production
