Innovations in Practice: Placemaking

Join us for our first Innovations in Practice event of 2025/26, showcasing innovative practices, current pedagogical approaches and future aspirations in teaching and learning aligned with Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.

The theme of this event is Placemaking.

Despite the growing emphasis on arts and creative practice in place management, there is often little space for honest discussion of what doesn’t go to plan — misaligned collaborations, disengaged communities, unanticipated resistance, or short-lived interventions. This webinar invites contributors to share insights from failure, friction, or adaptation in their use of creative engagement methods within place-based projects. We seek to explore the gap between theory and practice, and to create a space for constructive reflection.
