Welcome to CiviCast: our new regular series of podcasts and blog posts, amplifying the voices shaping the future of civic universities and the places they call home.
CiviCast is the platform for a range of opinions, views and commentary on the UK’s civic university movement, designed to spark dialogues that illuminate the contribution that universities and other anchor institutions can make to the places they call home, and debate solutions to the challenges they face on their journey. Whether you prefer to read our blog or listen to our podcasts, we invite you to join the conversation.
Do you have a civic story to tell, or an idea to maximise the impact of place-based collaboration? Get in touch to contribute to this new series!
