Project: Pocket Forest Planting, Green Week 2025
Project Type: Promotional Video
Working with director, Avadhoot Potdar, we took part in filming IADT Green Week. The first week of March saw IADT host its first ever Green Week, a series of events bringing students, staff and local community members together to explore sustainability through workshops, talks, and practical activities across campus.
One of the key moments of the week was the launch of the Teaching Glade Pocket Forest on March 3. A sunny dry morning saw students, staff and community members plant around 3,000 native Irish plants, creating a new biodiversity space on campus that will also serve as an outdoor learning environment. The planting project also aims to enhance campus ecology and support pollinators.
“I’m sure people will say isn’t it wonderful so many people turned up, but I’m not surprised by that, people want different kinds of outlets and different kinds of ways of expressing themselves and different ways of learning and sharing experiences,”

“This initiative is only the first phase and we will be looking to host more plantings in the future with this new biodiversity space on the campus. The planting also offered the opportunity for the IADT community to come together and have some fun while engaging in a positive and sustainable outdoor activity,“
