Introducing Calder Navigation, a podcast that navigates life through the stories of the people of Calderdale. Hosted by me, Curious Motion’s Artistic Director and Founder Samantha McCormick.

Calder Navigation invites listeners to open their hearts and minds to the everyday moments and big events that shape our lives. Through relaxed and authentic conversations Calder Navigation shares stories from people who live and work in the area, delving into the complexities of being human.

From poetry to music, each episode is a unique and creative way of sharing experiences that promote a sense of pride, togetherness and compassion across the community.

[00:00:46] – Samantha
The podcast is part of a larger three year project called the Welland Activator, which aims to reduce loneliness and isolation in Calderdale, particularly across Elland and the Lower Valley.

Supported by Calderdale Council, Reaching Communities from the National Lottery Community Fund and Arts Council England, Calder Navigation is just one part of a program that includes regular classes, workshops and walks, as well as special showcase event called Welland.
