Schools throughout Ireland are preparing for a bet with the government to highlight that more can be done to reduce harmful emissions of greenhouse gases in Ireland. The schools will bet with the Department for the Environment that they can reduce their energy consumption (hence CO2 emissions) a rate faster than the government proposes for the country as a whole. An 8% reduction in eight months as opposed to the government’s target of 8% in eight years was set for the schools in this year’s environmental project ‘the Irish BET’. read full story / add a comment

Background: Adults returning to second chance education were stunned recently with the removal of their child care allowance. The decision appears to have been made overnight to scrap the allowance by the Department of Education with no warning to the people availing of the payment. Already Colaiste Ide (the CDVEC school providing adult education full time courses in Finglas) has had students dropping out as they cannot afford to pay for child care. read full story / add a comment

international / arts and media / news report Friday September 12, 2003 17:20 by ec
the 'Next 5 Minutes' festival of new media is on in Amsterdam at present. Part of the event is the temporary creation of a huge online media library with high quality MPEG 4 files of activist/political film and video. The selection available is awesome and includes the brand new 'We Interrupt this Empire' documentary on the shutdown of San Francisco at the start of Gulf War II.

It also really gives you an idea of the vast amount of Activist Video being made and not being seen and to me points up a need for an ongoing library of this stuff being available online.

The quality of the files is fine for screenings and all you need to do so is access to a laptop and a video projector.

So if you have a fast connection (I don't) then get downloading. read full story / add a comment

The fifth report from Cancun is in the can. The World Trade Organisation meeting is taking place in Cancún, Mexico till Sunday 14th September and it seems that the so-call development round was not -surprise, surprise!!- about development at all, but an attempt to further weaken the position of developing countries. Conall O'Caoimh, project coordinator with Comhlahm, is an NGO observer on the official Irish government delegation and he reports daily to NEAR fm 101.6 from Cancún. You can listen to him on radio @ 11.00pm on Saturday or 12.30 pm on Sunday and/or download his reports from NEARfm's website (Saturday and sunday will not be available till Monday, though!) http://www.nearfm.ie/cancun.html read full story / add a comment
