Pioneering Places

Pioneering Places is the joint largest of the national Great Place Schemes, an ambitious project that will make East Kent an even better place to live, work and visit by exploring heritage, developing civic pride and connecting artists and communities.

Four projects in Canterbury, Dover, Folkestone and Ramsgate are being led by cultural organisations to encourage local people to get involved and shape the place where they live. Supported through Arts Council England and the National Lottery Heritage Fund, with Historic England and Artswork, the South East Bridge.

Five10Twelve has been commissioned to develop and produce the Pioneering Places Research and Knowledge Base (RKB) and to support collaboration and knowledge sharing across the project partners and stakeholder across all four locations and the wider creative community.
