This event is supported by the Sectoral Development Fund of Coimisiún na Meán. It has been organised by Cork Community Television on behalf of the Community Television Association.

As the digital media project with Mullan Mews and St Vincent’s School comes to a close, participants enjoyed a day out in the Northern Visions studio learning the skills of studio production.

Everyone was delighted to learn that two of the students from St. Vincent’s have been accepted into further education at Belfast Metropolitan College.

Mullan Mews is the award-winning supported housing scheme in East Belfast which focuses on the design of the environment and support provided to compensate for the disability caused by dementia.
St. Vincent’s is a Special School for pupils experiencing Social, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties.
