The programme will be designed to respond to young people’s needs and interests whilst introducing

them to architecture, the built environment and to a range of creative industries.

The Young People’s Programme will be made up of several strands including;

- Digital resources, activities and events that explore what architecture and the built environment is and routes into
careers linked to architecture and the built environment.

- Creative workshops that will take place throughout the UK and aimed at introducing young people to an exciting
array of creative mediums, techniques, processes, industries and careers.

- Work experience and mentoring programmes for young people who want to become architects and/or built
environment professionals with workshops and advice focusing on portfolio and interview preparation and writing
successful UCAS letters and CV’s.

- Networking opportunities to enable young people to meet likeminded piers, academics and professionals working
in the sector and to form connections that can help them to achieve their academic and career aspirations.

To ensure that the Young People’s Programme is appealing and relevant and to ensure that participants can have
agency over their own learning, we would like to establish a Young People’s Forum made up of 10-12 young people
aged 16 to 19 years who can meet once a month to give feedback on RIBA’s programmes, activities and resources for
young people and to share their own ideas for programme themes and content.
