Workshops

Parallel workshops ran both morning & afternoon; delegates were invited to choose ONE from each session.

The workshop facilitators are practitioners and researchers from a range of backgrounds spanning architecture and education. They are interested in how education and environment can be mutually supportive, across educational sectors, in the UK and internationally. Delegates will be able to consider how this might be achieved in their practices, going away with things to think about and act on. To download a timetable, please click here.
