Why Workshops? Workshops & Trainings are an integral part of WGXC. Through our workshops and trainings we aim to build media skills, access, and awareness for residents of Columbia and Greene counties, and opportunities for leadership and collaboration. We hope to create a culture of mentorship and support around media literacy and education, encouraging critical thinking, hands-on problem-solving, and experimentation along the way. We aim to demystify technology, recognizing and working to overcome digital divides -- and, of course, to produce brilliant and diverse content for broadcast on 90.7-FM.
