Engaging Places 

This project aims to make schools more aware of what can be achieved by engaging with local buildings, places and spaces.

We are working with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF), CABE and English Heritage to create a dynamic and strategic way forward to inspire and sustain schools' engagement with buildings, places and spaces.

We aim to give schools clear routes and signposting to cultural and creative experiences and resources related to the built environment - and provide best practice models for embedding these experiences and resources within their school plans and curriculum.

Visit the DCMS website for more information.

 

Background

Engaging Places builds on the DCMS booklet Laying the Foundations: Using the built environment to teach.
