We’re excited to announce applications are OPEN for the PLACED Academy 2023-24 programme! Starting with a 4-day summer school in late July, the programme consists of monthly sessions that are packed full of creative and skills-building workshops. The programme will run from July 2023 until April 2024 and is totally FREE! Apply now!
The PLACED Academy will support youth voice and citizenship, enabling designers and decision-makers to engage with a group of typically underrepresented people. Participants can expect to develop their skills and knowledge of the built environment as they take part in creative design and skills workshops. Participants will also have the chance to be involved in LIVE projects with industry professionals and meet people in the sector.
