Inspire Future Generations: Architecture and Education webinar

March 30th, 2021. An online round table discussion on how to create more opportunities for young people to engage with architecture and the built environment. Thornton Education Trust (TET) is a new charity created to advance education in architecture and urban design for children and young people. We need to create more opportunities for people to engage with the built environment from a young age, or we will be unable to raise a design-conscious future generation, interested and invested in improving their neighbourhoods and communities for the future.

TET´s inaugural initiative brings together an impressive spectrum of voices from the built environment and youth engagement to discuss how to address this important issue and ways in which more opportunities for young people to engage with the built environment can be created by organisations, both private and public, and individuals. Panelists include:

Matt Bell - Corporate Affairs Director at Grosvenor & co-creator of 'Voice Opportunity Power’.
Jorge Raedó - founder, Osa Menor, Colombia-based arts education organisation.
Karen Jelenje, Founder of social enterprise Activate the City.
Fiona MacDonald, Head of Learning at Design Museum and Matt + Fiona.
Simeon Shtebunaev - Birmingham City University.

Moderated by Victoria Thornton.
