JourneyCam

20 x 10 minute series starting on Monday 3rd September on RTÉjr.

 As young children settle back into routine after a summer of adventuring, RTÉjr takes to the road in a new travel series – ‘JourneyCam’.

 ‘JourneyCam’ is all about the world around us as seen through the eyes and adventures of young children. Camera in hand to capture the trip, each episode features a child on a journey they regularly make – but this time they get the chance to stop and explore the things they usually pass right by.

 Filmed by and featuring children from all over Ireland, ‘JourneyCam’ takes a closer look at the way the built environment works and the way children interact with the world as they go about their daily journeys.  They use the camera to guide us through their route and author their own adventures.

 Doireann (6) takes us on the ‘walking bus’ to school through Castlebellingham in Co. Louth stopping off to explore a local castle, to observe the herons looking for breakfast along the river’s edge and to befriend a friendly Irish Wolfhound. 

Freddy (4) takes us down the big hill from his home to the harbour in Cobh to help welcome a giant cruise ship with his parent’s brass band, stopping off to climb the many steps to the bell tower of Cobh cathedral where Freddie gets to play music on a carillon.

Tilly (6) and Mal (4) take us along through fields, lanes and forests on their walk to have a picnic at Tintern Abbey in Co. Wexford.

Diran (8) takes us on his favourite walk – when dad collects him from school and together they ramble through Dublin’s Liberties to Weaver Park skate park. Along the way they check out a local foundry and follow a trail of horse-poo which leads them to a stable and a horse and carriage who give them a lift some of the way.

Romey (7) takes the bus to Waterford city centre with her mum to dance rehearsal at the Theatre Royal, dropping off at a cobblers to have her tap shoe mended and detouring to Waterford’s Viking Triangle to find out a bit about Waterford’s history.

 Through the ‘JourneyCam’ the audience see and hear about the people, places and things they encounter and we learn that even the most ordinary of journeys can be extraordinary. 

 Over the course of 20 episodes and twenty different journeys, we travel on buses and bikes, trains and trams, cars and carriages, skateboards and scooters, ferries and flickers, exploring all sorts of places – like scrapyards, recycling centres, foundries and wind-farms; exploring ruined castles, hidden dens and bluebell forests. ‘JourneyCam’ even gets a look inside the grounds of Áras an Uachtaráin!

 Every journey offers new surprises.
