Dr Rachel Connor, AHRC Creative Communities Senior Research Fellow presented programme learning at the ‘Co-creation in the Arts, Culture and Heritage in Local Authority Partnerships in Place‘ symposium hosted by the University of Nottingham with Leicestershire County Council.
Rachel shared experiential insights into the co-creation models developed by the Community Innovation Practitioner Awards and reflected on the opportunities and challenges of co-creation and partnership research.
Key insights and reflections related to the power of communities and the importance of an assets-based approach. Placing culture at the centre of co-creation can be complex—and yet it makes for a rich and diverse way to bring communities together.
The event brought together speakers representing perspectives from funders, local authorities, charities, arts and cultural organisations, higher education, and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) stakeholders in places to provide expert insights into the co-creation approaches needed for successful place-based research partnerships.
Other speakers included:
