Creative U is the podcast where pre-service teachers look to uncover the importance of creativity inside and outside of the classroom.
Each episode has a different feel, different hosts, and a different creative topic as they are written and recorded by the students themselves. Learn alongside all of us on the Creative U Podcast.
All hosts are students in the Creative Activities class from Brandon University's Faculty of Education program.
