EngAGE TV comes to Dublin Community TelevisionWeekly during the Bealtaine festival in May and then monthly thereafter, DCTV will be broadcasting a new 45 minute show for an older audience. Produced in partnership with us here in Age and Opportunity, the show which airs at 7pm on a Thursday and 3pm on a Friday covers physical activity and profiles Get Vocal groups from around the country and a weekly listing of Bealtaine Festival events. Dublin Community Television uses new, all-digital technology to run Dublin's only community television station. It is part of a global growth in alternative, community-focused media. The organisation itself is an open membership cooperative, with schedules, programme commissioning and all other decisions being driven by members. |

'On TRACk - Turning Retirement into Active Citizenship' is a new course we are piloting to help people to develop confidence and skills in contributing to and working for change in their communities. It will be developed to reflect the needs and experiences of those taking part who can shape its content.
Home is a special place for most of us. Older & Bolder’s campaign MAKE HOME WORK highlights the obstacles faced by people – older people, people with chronic illnesses, people with disabilities - who want to live well at home and who need support to do so.
