About this Event
Connect To: Creative Network is a student-led programme that is funded and facilitated by Creative Shift at UAL. Together we shape the network and support students to 'make things happen' and 'try things out' by working on collaborative projects. We aim to foster a sense of community and bridge the gap between education and industry.
About Connect To Meet Up
Each month we meet to catch up, connect and share our creativity. We are a community who understand that taking steps to making a living doing what you love isn't easy. At our Meet Ups you can make your own connections with experienced industry professionals, staff and other students at UAL to help bridge the gap between education and industry.
Our speakers come from a wide range of backgrounds that reflect the diversity of students in our community. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions, shout out projects you're working on and head about opportunities and events you can get involved with. At Connect To we are always sharing tips and trick to help you move forward and make money from your creativity.
