I was lucky enough to present some preliminary results from #Flourish at this year’s @ISA_RC21 Conference in Chile.
Led by @YuriKazepov we discussed the challenges of participatory work, and ‘measuring what matters’ on the most stunning campus in the heart of Santiago.
📍 One week to go!

We spent a busy two days visiting creative practitioners, spaces and places across Dundee as part of #FlourishGateshead. An exhausting but exhilarating trip - thank you to everyone who generously gave their time. Dundee you have my heart!
Our @NBSNU academic @beccaprescott has received funding from @gateshead levelling up fund to support cultural-led regeneration in Gateshead town centre - and to feed into the @TyneDerwentWay project: https://t.co/S1a6qibfJK
Great to see the contribution of our @NBSNU academic @beccaprescott in the opening of the @TyneDerwentWay to revitalise nature, heritage and culture along Gateshead's riversides: https://t.co/F0AoG2iYXw
Short clip of our first Go-and-See as part of #Flourish. We toured North Shields Cultural Quarter, visited @HelixArts then back to @EnigmaTap to put everything we'd learnt onto our Creative & Cultural Ecosystems Map.
Thank you again to everyone who shared their time with us.
I was beyond excited to host the first Stakeholder Meeting for #FlourishGateshead yesterday. Flourish based on a co-research model so our Stakeholders will be working with us to design the approach and focus of the research from the outset.
From Whitburn to North Shields to Dunston Staiths then back.
AM: Mentoring thanks to @HelixArts#ArtistsAgency with @RachelAdam2
PM: A bit of prep work for the #TyneDerwentWay#RiversideRoutes schools and community projects
Later: eEmails and further pondering.
Now 💤 💤 😴
Loved delivering my module Innovation and Creativity in #Amsterdam to @NBSNU Masters students. Even managed to fit in a ‘Regeneration Ramble’ looking at creative spaces in Bijlmer.
Very happy to share my new paper in #LocalEconomy written with the excellent Jon Swords.
If you are a policy/place researcher, policy maker or creative practitioner this paper is for you. Best of all it's open access so free to read and download!
