Who we are
Diaspora Community Television is a multicultural media platform giving the diaspora a voice — promoting social cohesion, dialogue and self-expression through community television.
DCTV exists to make sure the communities of the diaspora can tell their own stories, in their own words. We produce and broadcast programming that reflects the cultures, languages and lived experiences of the people we serve.
Our work spans news, forums, culture and documentary — all co-created with community members from the very first conversation. We believe media is strongest when it is made with a community rather than simply about one.
Based in The Hague and connected across Europe, Mainland China and countries of origin, DCTV brings the diaspora together around shared dialogue and self-expression.
Voice
Every community member deserves a platform to be seen and heard on their own terms.
Inclusion
We build the visibility of diaspora communities in public life and decision-making.
Independence
Information that is valid, balanced and diversified, accessible to all, monopolised by none.
Cohesion
Media in service of social cohesion, dialogue and learning to live together.
