The idea

This project involves organising a series of 12 inclusive, neurodivergent-friendly workshops designed for children and families, held across a year. The interactive sessions aim to spark curiosity and foster understanding about the built environment, exploring its design, purpose, and impact on communities. By creating an engaging, sensory-friendly atmosphere, the workshops empower participants to connect with architecture and urban planning in a meaningful way, encouraging creativity, learning, and shared experiences.

What we'll deliver

  • 12 sensory-friendly crafty workshops linking to Architecture
  • Hire rooms to hold the workshops in safe accessible spaces
  • Provide materials for the workshops
