A Thornton Education Trust (TET) live event, in partnership with WilkinsonEyre.
The built environment around us today often doesn’t serve young people’s needs. Individual projects and initiatives are emerging to tackle this issue, but systemic change is needed.
This special event for the London Festival of Architecture brings together some of the leading practitioners from various disciplines – including winners of the TET Inspire Future Generations Awards – to showcase their work through a series of fast-paced, inspiring presentations. Through this event we aim to highlight to the wider London community how to build capacity especially among the professions in enabling young people to have a voice in the shaping of their city.
Takeaways: Using Section 104 to embed youth engagement/co-design; using local practitioners rather than dropping in to run the project; pay young people; propositional rather than only reactionary; co-authored by young people in the process.
