The Gaydio Academy
Welcome to The Gaydio Academy, Brighton.
The Gaydio Academy is a new opportunity to get free training and skills workshops in central Brighton facilitated by Gaydio. We're the world's largest LGBT+ radio station, but what you might not know is that we're a not-for-profit organisation whose mission is rooted in improving the lives of the audience we serve. So as well as everything you might expect from any other radio station, Gaydio offers a host of courses and projects that allow you to get involved in making a positive impact on where we live and expand on your own skills and experiences.
