Regeneration Exchange
The North East was the first region in the country to support a project dedicated to networking regeneration initiatives to promote the sharing of knowledge, skills and information.
Regeneration Exchange has been established since 1999 and has a remit to exchange good practice in regeneration within the North East regeneration community in order to increase the learning in this sector so partners and practitioners may be able to deliver initiatives more effectively.
The Mission of Regeneration Exchange is:
To increase the capacity of regeneration partnerships and practitioners through exchanging experiences and promoting good practice across the north east and encourage a dynamic interchange process to identify and investigate the elements crucial to the delivery of regeneration relevant to partners and communities.
Regeneration Exchange Supports:
Researching good practice in regeneration
Disseminating information on regeneration practice
Training on issues relating to regeneration
Networking the North East regeneration community
Promoting the exchange of good practice in regeneration in the North East
The project aims to work wherever possible with partner agencies in the region and is always looking to develop more networks with a range of broad and diverse groups. For more information, please visit our website:
