ARTCONNECTS Podcast

Nick Corston, Dad, Co-Founder and CEO of non-profit STEAM Co. hosts the ARTCONNECTS Podcast. A Celebration of the Power of Creativity, Technology and People to Inspire Young People and Children in their Learning, To Create Careers and Power the Economy and to Engage and Connect Society and Communities. STEAM Co. believe we have to Connect Young People with their Art be it dance, dj-ing, cooking or coding, fashion or football and Connect Communities with their Schools. Every episode we'll be talking to not just teachers and people in the world of education but across the board in business and other organisations. Because 'Art is what we call it when what we do might connect us'. Series 1: #ARTCONNECTS19 - our first flurry into podcasting and what a wonderful response we had Series 2: #TALKWALKERS20 - chats with people who knew and were inspired by Sir Ken Robinson on the sad shadow of his tragic passing
