The National Schools\u00a0Programme<\/a>\u00a0will partner schools with\u00a0RIBA<\/a>\u00a0Architecture<\/a>\u00a0Ambassadors \u2013 architectural\u00a0professionals<\/a>\u00a0who volunteer their time to deliver creative and curriculum-linked workshops for children aged 4-18.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Programme<\/a>, which is provided free-of-charge to schools, is part of an educational drive to increase the interest children have in the world of\u00a0architecture<\/a>, design and the\u00a0built environment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A variety of workshops is to be offered by the\u00a0Programme<\/a>, matched to the individual needs, resources and interests of each school by, for example, exploring the local\u00a0area<\/a>\u00a0and key issues affecting the\u00a0community<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The launch follows a pilot phase that engaged with 18,000 young people from a diverse range of backgrounds, in more than 200 English schools. 349 Ambassadors contributed their time and expertise, and the\u00a0RIBA<\/a>\u00a0is now calling for\u00a0architects<\/a>\u00a0to engage with the new nationwide\u00a0programme<\/a>.<\/p>\n

RIBA<\/a>\u00a0President Ben Derbyshire said: \u2018The\u00a0RIBA<\/a>\u00a0believes that everyone has a part to play in shaping their\u00a0built environment<\/a>, and we are committed to empowering young people through this nationwide\u00a0programme<\/a>. The huge enthusiasm and commitment of the individual\u00a0architects<\/a>\u00a0and their\u00a0practices<\/a>\u00a0in giving their time to make this\u00a0programme<\/a>\u00a0possible is impressive. We are proud that our pilot\u00a0project<\/a>\u00a0has already reached 18,000 young people, all over the country, and we look forward to inspiring thousands more.<\/p>\n
