Introduction

Creative Peninsula is an AHRC-funded ‘knowledge exchange’ project, led by the University of Exeter, exploring collaborative approaches to place-making and culture-led regeneration in Devon and Cornwall. The project focuses on increasing access and exchange between urban, rural and coastal communities, celebrating the region’s distinctive landscape and Atlantic coastline, whilst exploring its complex histories, through socially engaged arts programming and cultural enquiry.

Creative Peninsula aims to establish a network of partners across Devon and Cornwall and to co-create a platform with local communities for re-telling the ‘stories of place’, working to overcome barriers to social inclusion, wellbeing and environmental sustainability.
