A brand-new CBeebies music series featuring much-loved children’s TV character Dodge T. Dog and an impressive line-up of musical guests has been filmed at the University of Hertfordshire’s new state-of-the-art Propeller Stage – giving students the chance to gain hands-on experience on a major BBC children’s production. 🎥 📺

Big Songs with Dodge, produced by Score Draw Media for CBeebies, sees Dodge joined by a range of musical guests including Tim Wheeler, frontman of rock band Ash, Sugababes star Mutya Buena and soul legend PP Arnold. 🎶

Filmed over two days at the University’s Propeller Stage, the production brought together professional television crews and 12 students from the School of Creative Arts, who supported everything from camera operation and editing to set design and lighting. 🚀

The experience gave students the opportunity to work alongside industry professionals on a high-profile children’s television production while developing practical skills in a live studio environment.

Big Songs with Dodge is available now on the CBeebies YouTube channel and on BBC iPlayer!

What happens when architecture students
design with communities?

Last week our Architecture department presented Geraci Siculo Imagining the Future, a bilingual book showcasing the outcomes of our Architecture Summer School in Sicily.

For our students, this was much more than a design project. It was an opportunity to engage with a real community, explore new ideas, and understand how architecture can help shape future visions for places.

The book is free to download, reflecting our commitment to making research accessible to everyone and this project was supported by an Impact Accelerator Award from the University of Hertfordshire, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).

A huge thank you to the Municipality and community of Geraci Siculo, Mayor Luigi luppa, Antonio Giovanni Minutella, Edizioni Arianna, and everyone who made this journey possible.

This is the kind of real-world, community-engaged experience our Architecture students are part of at the University of Hertfordshire.
