Participants in the Pedal Project and Dublin cycling enthusiasts gathered in the DCTV studio to review DCTV’s recent use of the documentary format to instigate a city wide discussion on cycling.

The mainstream media often does not focus on the economic and social impacts of Peak Oil and Climate Change. For this reason many people still feel that these issues are not directly relevant to their everyday lives. Street Smart Sustainability is a 4 part series, which seeks to increase the understanding of the issues around sustainability so that people can make informed decisions on what they do in their daily lives.

In each episode we go out on the streets of Dublin to get Vox-Pops on what people think about the issue of the week. These Vox-Pops then form the basis of a lively in-studio discussion led by presenter, Dylan Townsend.

Another Community in a Studio shoot happening today.  This time, we are back working again with our partners in the Cultivate centre, producing a show that’ll look at patterns of sustainable urban living in contemporary Dublin.  I really don’t have any more information than that at the moment, but when some is available you’ll find it here.  The show will probably be a little something like the Powerdown production that recently aired..
