Stroud Community TV is a not for profit independent online
channel by the people of Stroud and for the people of Stroud. It launched
on 1st March 2012 and now we are now after more of your
YouTube or Vimeo videos about Stroud or by Stroud people that can be
linked to our website.
We already have a tag labeled Transition Stroud with over 21 videos - see it at:
http://stroudcommunity.tv/tag/transition-stroud/
We also have a huge range of videos (getting close to 200) from skateboarding, music, our
beautiful countryside, history, stories, poetry community projects and
much more. It has been fascinating seeing the range from videos; an old
one with Chalford Station still operating, Emma Samms in a video to
raise money to tackle prostrate cancer, community projects like the
Horsley Orchard and Dudbridge Hydro, Rococo Gardens, work by arts
students and so much more.
Basically SCTV is run by volunteers and will be a place;
- to publicise and promote Stroud to local people and visitors
- to support our local economy
- to create a space for voices who are less often heard
- to inspire audiences into actions
- to develop the already amazing media skills and creative talent in Stroud
We hope to also support and encourage specific projects to help develop
video-making skills. Many different groups are interested including
Stroud Video Makers, Colleges, local charities and more. But we would
welcome more - if anyone is interested in getting involved please get
in touch via the website - we need help with uploading videos, running
workshops and making films.
The range of organisations and, perhaps more importantly, small local groups and individuals offering information and advice as well as plants was really encouraging at a time when more and more people are thinking of growing their own and linking gardening with food supply.
