Place Lab
The mission of Place Lab is to use the power of culture and creativity to catalyse change at a local level. Working in towns across County Durham each Place Lab will foster a community-centred approach to culture and regeneration. Hyper-local, place-based activities will boost cultural participation and facilitate the exchange of knowledge and connectivity within and between our communities.
Through collaboration with cultural and creative partners, communities will be empowered to actively engage in decisions shaping the future of their places. To achieve this, five Place Labs will be established across the County, complemented by a digital knowledge hub designed to enhance inclusion, connection, and knowledge sharing.
Led by Durham County Council in collaboration with No More Nowt and Northern Heartlands
