The Network programme

The Network Programme supports a broad range of people who live, work or study on Tyneside. We develop collaborative projects with partners that challenge the expected heritage experience inside and out of our venues in new and exciting ways.  We support community cohesion and act as a catalyst for innovative and new ideas.
