Coming Soon: Creative Communities Podcast – Series 2

What can devolution unlock for the UK’s creative communities? 

Hosted by Professor Katy Shaw, Director of the AHRC Creative Communities Programme, the Creative Communities Podcast returns with six new stories showing what happens when communities, co-creation, cross-sector partnerships and research and innovation come together. 

Travel from Dundee, Birmingham, Rochdale and Kirklees to Ards and North Down in Northern Ireland and Blaenau Ffestiniog in Wales and meet Community Innovation Practitioners who are working with local people and cross-sector stakeholders to turn place-based challenges into new ideas, opportunities and action. 

Across the series, you’ll discover how devolution, culture and innovation can unlock growth and drive change through local voices, lived experience and practical ideas you can take into your own work, organisation or community. 

Series 2 launches this October.

Follow the Creative Communities Podcast to hear all six episodes.
