It might be something your child may be interested in.

Hello to all the Irish Coder Dojos,

I am writing in regards to an upcoming documentary for RTE's Young People division. Our production company, Macalla, has been commissioned to create a second installment of our successful television series, "Life's Like This," as a follow-on to last year's documentary production. It would be great if you could help us circulate the info below to your listservs, Twitter followers, Facebook pages etc. as we wish to engage as much of the teenage Irish populace as possible. Any and all assistance in spreading the word is greatly appreciated and I have included additional information below to that end.

As part of this year's project, we are asking anyone between 13 and 19 to film themselves on Friday, September 20th, and to upload their films to the RTE website to create a user generated documentary which captures life in Ireland through the eyes of teenagers on that day. Last year we filmed younger children on a Tuesday (see a clip from last year's film here http://vimeo.com/62298424) but this year we are especially interested in all the opportunities that a Friday provides - sporting events, a night out, movies with friends - all the things that make you go, "Thank Goodness It's Friday!!!"

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me via the details below.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks so much,

Brittny
