Shape My City is great experience/opportunity for young people, but don't take our word for it - here's what other people say about the programme:
Participants (young people):
'Shape My City has changed my life and I am grateful for
the doors it has helped open for me and others.'
‘Every
single session left me feeling inspired’.
'Taking part in Shape My City definitely strengthened my UCAS
application and my chances of going to my preferred universities to study
architecture.'
‘It
made me more aware of our environments, their effect on our lives and the
people behind them, which I never really give much more than a passing thought
to previously’.
'A
wonderful experience that has helped me see architecture/design from different
perspectives and helped me to make my future career/study choices.'
'I've loved each of the different workshops, so
well organised, really friendly and inclusive. It is a great programme – thank
you'.
Teachers:
'The programme is a really valuable experience for my
students and every year I strongly encourage them
to apply.' Year 12/13 Design Teacher
Parents:
‘Thank you so much for giving my daughter this opportunity. She has enjoyed it enormously, and she knows for certain now that she wants to apply for a degree in Architecture, with a really good idea of what's involved and the huge variety of career paths she could take. It has been an invaluable experience for her’.
Mentors:
'I was inspired by the young people taking part in Shape My City. The programme does a great job of introducing a diversity of ideas and careers within the built environment to an audience that may not otherwise have access to this. I wish I’d had this opportunity when I was a teenager – it’s invaluable.' Landscape Architect Inspirer
