One of our volunteers from the #CSMG Alan Mathews gave a nice shout out to the games in a recent podcast with @dig_mining, he also talks about his new book 'Adventures of a Cornish Miner'.

@The_Jow This is why we offer the 'Cornwall Schools Mining Games' to young people! To encourage a shift in attitudes towards mining (albeit we already have a great mining legacy which children know about here) next games are in June :) https://t.co/PqL8NvWV8C

Great interview from Sam Hughes, a senior lecturer at @CambSchMines. Lots of inspiration for the younger generations and the future of #mining.
