3. WHAT IS REFRESH
Refresh is a community of designers and developers working to
refresh the creative, technical and professional culture of New
Media endeavours in their areas. We aim to promote design,
technology, usability and standards.
The Refresh Manifesto
Gather Great Minds, Share All Of Our Knowledge, All Grow And Learn,
Be More Than We Think We Can Be, Promote Local Talent, Make Our Cities Better

4. REFRESH TEESSIDE
Refresh Teesside follows the manifesto of other Refreshing Cities
around the world. However, we have decided to open the events
up to more than just designers and developers. We welcome all
those who work in the creative industry including: photographers,
marketing, printers, designers, developers etc.
We made this decision in recognition of the importance of
digital communities working closely together and increasing
their understanding of other’s work, thus reaping the
mutual benefits of collaboration.

5. REFRESH TEESSIDE
In Teesside there are hundreds of creative businesses who
can benefit from knowing each other. Many of the
businesses are relatively small in size, focusing on a specific
skill or service.
Everyone can benefit from knowing other professionals in
their own trades and networking with other professionals
who offer skills and services they may require in the future.

6. WHY TEESSIDE
Newcastle is a digital hub! They have support, networking
events, meet ups and places to collaborate.
Teesside talks about being a digital hub, but are we? We have
the people, the knowledge and the skills but no method of
meeting up and collaborating.
Refresh Teesside is an idea by a web developer living and
working in Teesside... It’s a platform to make Teesside a
digital hub... It’s now up to you to help make it happen!
