Featuring partners Cork Community Media Hub, Cork Community Television (CCTV), Dublin Community Television (DCTV), Near TV (Dublin), and Northern Visions TV (NVTV, Belfast), the project curates decades of community-led footage\u2014much of it previously unseen\u2014to spark dialogue and connection across the island. Through workshops, exchange visits, and public screenings, it fosters collaboration between media practitioners, cultural organisations, and local communities, while laying the groundwork for a future All-Island Community TV Service that celebrates diverse voices and local narratives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For decades, community media organisations have quietly documented the creativity, resilience, and everyday lives of their communities.
