The companies volunteer their employees’ time to deliver bespoke, curriculum-linked workshops for children aged four to 18. The programme is free of charge to schools.
The aim is to help thousands of children to explore and understand the built environment, its impact on people and communities, how it is shaped and developed, and why good design is important.
Architecture is not a subject that is taught as part of the school curriculum and the programme has been launched after a pilot worked with more than 200 schools in England and involved 349 of RIBA’s “Architecture Ambassadors” from 170 architecture practices.
