About Making Yourself At Home

Join Clara from Spain, Brian from US, Alina from Romania and their friends for Making Yourself at Home! The radio show and podcast where you tell us your story about how you are making New Zealand and Taranaki your home. While we learn about and share your unique experiences and perspectives, we also like to discuss community projects, programs and initiatives that can help with the settling-in process. We are kindly sponsored by the Ethnic Communities Development Fund, a program created and supported by the Ministry for Ethnic Communities to open more spaces for migrants, grow their skills and celebrate their culture.

Tyrese also reflected on the continuing role of radio in today’s rapidly changing media landscape.
