Connect To: Creative Network (Meet up - March)

Connect To: Creative Network is a student-led programme that is funded and facilitated by UAL's Careers & Employability: Creative Shift team. Together we shape the network and support students to 'make things happen' and 'try things out' by working on collaborative projects and fostering a sense of community.

Connect To meet up once a month, usually on the first Thursday of the month at London College of Communication (LCC), 5 - 7pm.

At every Meet Up we invite an Creative Industry professional to come in and have a chat with us, so we can hear about their route into the industry, top tips and tricks for starting out as well as have a chance to ask questions and connect with them!

You'll get to meet with other students across UAL colleges and courses, be a part of planning upcoming Connect To projects and hear about loads of other opportunities & events that you can get involved with, (including £ paid roles) so you can gain new skills, make money or further your creative ambitions, so make sure you're at the next Connect To Meet Up!
