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.

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: chroniclelive.co.uk/whats-on…
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 💤 💤 😴 – at Sunderland, England
All set up @The_Central_Bar for tonight’s launch event. Creative practitioner who lives/works in #Gateshead and fancy a free pint? Pop on down!
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!

Survived my first round with #Covid_19 after successfully avoiding it for 2 1/2 years. Even after four vaccinations that wasn’t a pleasant experience.

We need your help. Please share this post & call us if you spot this wood carving anywhere in the local area. It's gone missing from the farm & the Placements who've been working on it are gutted. Months of work disappeared overnight.
Call 0191 232 3698 to report a sighting.
