Education
Through our Built Environment Education Programme we aim to give children, young people and the wider community the opportunity to develop personal and emotional responses to the built environment through experiment, art and play so that they may:
* Experience different places and spaces
* Increase understanding and awareness of their environment
* Develop ways to articulate and express their responses to places
* Be involved in decision- making processes
* Take action to improve the built environment
Working with school, colleges and communities we design and deliver projects that question, explore and open up dialogue through creative experiences inspired by the built environment.
