The first workshop will pool past research and expertise and discuss historic activity across the borough. We will be asking about the foundations of activity and, crucially, data on activities which are no longer active.

The second workshop will look at the current cultural landscape in Gateshead and present creative activity. Discussions will focus on active projects and projects at risk, and why. 

The third workshop acts as a future scoping event to identify a tangible, co-designed ‘pathway’ for future creative and cultural activity capable of supporting local policymaking
