Inspiring young people about the built environment
PLACED delivers activities that give young people an opportunity to learn about the towns and cities in which they live, why design is important, and an understanding of how places are created.
PLACED delivers a range of activities including pupil and teacher workshops in school, partnerships with universities and tailor made programmes of outreach activity.
Our exciting hands on workshops develop a wide range of skills, from presentation to team working, building confidence and raising aspirations.
Activities have clear links across the curriculum and are appropriate for a wide range of age groups, abilities and skills.
PLACED activities are delivered by PLACED Ambassadors including architects, urban designers, engineers and planners, supported by university students, providing an opportunity to gain an understanding of careers and access routes into related professions.
