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! Artists, if you're interested in one of our exciting opportunities to create new performance-based work with local communities in Stockton (£10,000 or £2,000 commissions available), please apply by 10am on Mon 24 Jun: arconline.co.uk/take-part/for-… #MakeNewWork

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: northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/news-…

Our Tyne Derwent Way collaboration has been shortlisted! It's a huge collective effort guided by #ClareRichardson @gateshead #RichardClay @nuhri_ncl, @HelenMoir2 @nationaltrust, @beccaprescott @NorthumbriaUni, #XanderWilson @NewcastleUniAPL, #MartinHulse & #KariVickers @twbpt ...

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/whats…

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.

@EKvisualartist @The_Central_Bar Thanks! Feel free to pass on my details.

@beccaprescott @The_Central_Bar Hope it went well. Shared with those who will be working with schools on #RiversideRoutes as part of #TyneDerwentWay and a few others. Keep us posted about the next opportunity to connect.

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!

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 💤 💤 😴

@dannewberry_ @The_Central_Bar Thanks Dan! Lots of people picking up a #MakingtheClaytonStreetCorridor final report at the same time.

@BenJonesD @The_Central_Bar Ahh no! Did you not see the invite email? Will email you tomorrow with all the details (and the promise of a future pint).

@path_dependent @The_Central_Bar A Carhartt jacket and the pint would have been yours!

@beccaprescott @The_Central_Bar I would have stuck some paintbrushes in my back pocket to look creative and come for the pint but I'm pre booked.

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! Link: doi.org/10.1177/026909…

@ClareRicho74 Thanks @ClareRicho74 - I’m getting there 😊

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.

@ndebelemackem Thanks @ndebelemackem ❤️

@beccaprescott Oh no! So glad you’re feeling better- covid is awful!!
