Renew tvAAC!

22 years giving voice to the academic life of Coimbra. Our equipment is at its limit. Help us renew tvAAC. Donate what you can!

For 22 years, tvAAC has existed to ensure that no moment of academic life in Coimbra goes unnoticed.

We are students. We don't have salaries or millionaire sponsors. We have cameras, willpower, and the certainty that what we do matters.

It was with this spirit that we broadcast serenades from the Queima das Fitas (Burning of the Ribbons) and Festa das Latas (Tin Can Festival), that we brought national and international student music festivals to the screens of those who couldn't be there. It was with this spirit that we created " Mãe estou na TV" (Mom, I'm on TV), " Eu 'Tou na Festa" (I'm at the Party ), and so many other programs that have already made people laugh, feel emotional, and feel nostalgic ahead of time. It was with this spirit that, day after day, we produced informative pieces about the university, the academy, the city, and the country, because students deserve information made by those who live the same life as they do.

But the truth is this: our equipment is reaching its limit. Cameras, microphones, cables, tripods, computers. The equipment that makes everything possible is worn out, and without it, tvAAC cannot continue to be what it has always been.

That's why we need you.

Our goal is 10,000 euros. With that amount, we will renew essential equipment and ensure that tvAAC continues to do what it does best: be present in every moment that defines your life here in Coimbra.

We're not asking for much. We're asking for whatever you can give. Whether it's one or ten euros, every contribution is another frame in this story that belongs to all of us.

Donate. Share. Help renew tvAAC!

About the author

tvAAC is the television channel of the Academic Association of Coimbra, one of the oldest and most recognized academic associations in the country. We are a cultural section of the AAC, formed entirely by volunteer undergraduate students, without salaries or sponsors.

Over the course of 22 years, we have built a channel that covers academic life in Coimbra from end to end. We broadcast serenades from the Queima das Fitas (Burning of the Ribbons) and Festa das Latas (Tin Can Festival), national and international student music festivals, concerts, and cultural events. We produce daily news segments about the university, academia, the city, and the country. We created programs like "Mãe estou na TV" (Mom, I'm on TV) and "Mãe estou na Festa" (Mom, I'm at the Party), which have become landmarks in Coimbra's academic culture.

Today we have almost 7,000 followers on Instagram and 13,000 subscribers on YouTube. Our work reaches students in Coimbra and far beyond.

You can get to know us better on our YouTube channel and our social media channels.

Budget and due dates

Budget and Scheduling
The €5,000 raised in this campaign has a clear and direct purpose: new equipment to continue doing what we've always done.

The funds will be distributed as follows:
Computer for productions: €3000. Purchase already made, with the aim of recouping the amount spent. We had to proceed with this purchase so that tvAAC productions don't stop. The computer has the following specifications: an Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus processor (CPU); an NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti graphics card (GPU) with 16 GB of VRAM; and 64 GB of DDR5 memory (RAM). With these specifications, the computer allows for the simultaneous execution of many programs and demanding tasks.
Canon XA60 camera: €1500. It's the central recording equipment, essential for covering events, serenades, festivals, and producing our programs with quality.
Various materials: €500. Including tripods, teleprompter, microphones, converters, adapters, production equipment, cables, and memory cards. Materials that ensure everything works correctly at the right time.

The campaign runs for two months. As soon as we reach the goal, we will immediately proceed with the purchase of the equipment.
