As there is no way I would be able to update this page with the thousands of courses available in the UK, never mind anywhere else, we have restricted ourselves to listing training organisations or sources of information on training. Listing an organisation in no way suggests that we recommend or even have first hand knowledge of the organisation, unless otherwise indicated. |

| Walter
Turner Berkeley, California |
 This is a recommendation from Fresh, a listener to Whole Wheat Radio, who has taken some given by Walter Turner the President of the Board of Directors of Global Exchange.Walter does a weekly radio programme on American Radio station KPFA, based in Berkeley California, but you can listen online from their website.They say the programme is 'A weekly news program providing information and analysis about Africa and the African Diaspora. Africa Today seeks to update listeners on contemporary developments in Africa, the Caribbean, South America, and the United States. The program utilizes an interview and discussion format to explore political, social, economic, and cultural themes relative to the African experience.' Walter's profile on the Global Exchange website here.From what I've read Walter seems a very interesting guy, thanks Fresh. |
