Free teacher CPD

‘High Street Stories’ is an exciting, interdisciplinary project for upper primary/lower secondary students in the same vein as our very successful ‘Model School’ project. The training workshops provide the resources, understanding and confidence needed for teachers to bring the project to life and teach children how places shape lives.

We are looking for interested teachers to take part in our focus group to help deliver high quality education resources on the built environment, architecture and place-making. More information is available here.
