Explore archiLEARNERS our flagship foundational learning programme
Where creativity meets community – transforming local spaces through artistic vision.
Young people discover how art shapes the character of public spaces, exploring how creative interventions can transform their community.
Through hands-on investigation and design thinking, students examine local spaces and art, identify opportunities for artistic enhancement, and develop proposals that celebrate place identity.
From street art to sculptural installations, participants learn how artists collaborate with architects and planners to create engaging, meaningful spaces.
Students develop visual literacy, spatial awareness, and community engagement skills while producing creative proposals that amplify local voices. Empower the next generation of creative placemakers – bring ART, SPACE, PLACE to your community today.
Perfect for: KS2-KS5 | Art, Design & Technology, Geography, Citizenship | Public realm developments, regeneration projects, community spaces
ART SPACE PLACE
Building understanding layer by layer – exploring how cities evolve
Students investigate their local area as a rich collage of architectural styles, historical layers, and diverse communities. Using mixed-media techniques, young people document and analyse how different building periods, materials, and uses create the unique character of urban spaces
Participants explore architectural evolution, understand adaptive reuse, and consider how new development can complement existing fabric. Through creative collage-making and urban analysis, students develop critical thinking about heritage, change, and sustainable development.
Reveal the stories hidden in your streets – launch COLLAGE CITY and inspire young urban explorers.
Perfect for: KS2-KS4 | History, Geography, Art & Design | Urban regeneration, heritage areas, mixed-use developments
COLLAGE CITY
The future is unwritten – young visionaries designing the cities of tomorrow by imaginative transformation, adaptation, and reuse
Young people unleash their creative vision, exploring radical possibilities for transforming underused or challenging spaces. Through speculative design and creative problem-solving, students tackle tasks with bold, imaginative proposals that challenge conventional thinking.
Participants learn to question assumptions, embrace experimentation, and develop confident design voices. From abandoned buildings to contested spaces, students create visionary concepts that inspire conversations about what’s possible.
This programme builds design confidence, critical thinking, and entrepreneurial spirit while demonstrating how youth perspectives can unlock innovative solutions that professional designers might overlook.
Unlock fresh perspectives – let young minds reimagine how their future world could be.
Perfect for: KS3-KS5 | Art, Design & Technology, Enterprise | Brownfield sites, temporary spaces, contested sites, innovation districts
REIMAGINE
Designing for tomorrow – empowering young climate leaders to reimagine sustainable spaces
Young people tackle the climate emergency through the lens of sustainable architecture and urban design.
Students investigate environmental challenges, explore green building innovations, and develop design proposals that respond to climate change. From energy-efficient homes to green infrastructure, participants learn how the built environment can be part of the solution.
Through hands-on experiments and creative problem-solving, students develop environmental literacy, systems thinking, and sustainable design skills. This programme demonstrates climate leadership while meeting net-zero development commitments and environmental education obligations.
Build a sustainable future—inspire the next generation of environmental innovators today.
Perfect for: KS2-KS5 | Science, Geography, Design & Technology | Eco-developments, retrofitting projects, sustainable communities
OUR CHANGING WORLD
Every place tells a story – celebrating the diverse cultures that shape our communities
Young people become cultural researchers, exploring how different communities create and claim space through festivals, food, faith, and traditions.
Students investigate cultural landmarks, interview community members, and map the hidden cultural geography of their area.
Participants develop understanding of inclusive design, learn how buildings and spaces can reflect diverse identities, and create proposals that celebrate multicultural placemaking.
This programme builds empathy, cross-cultural communication, and inclusive design thinking while amplifying youth voice in creating welcoming, culturally responsive environments.
Champion diversity and inclusion – bring CULTURE of PLACE to your development and community.
Perfect for: KS2-KS5 | Citizenship, RE, Geography | Community hubs, residential developments, town centres
CULTURE OF PLACE
Play is powerful – giving young people voice in designing spaces that spark joy and connection
Children and young people become playful designers, reimagining and adding joyful playful ideas to their everyday environments through creative exploration and participatory design.
Students investigate how spaces encourage movement, social interaction, imagination, and ideation. Through model-making, site analysis, and user research, participants develop design proposals that reflect their needs and aspirations.
This programme demonstrates authentic youth consultation in development, builds confidence in spatial reasoning and design communication, and creates tangible improvements to play provision.
Young people learn that their voices matter in shaping the spaces they use daily. Invest in play, invest in communities—create spaces where childhood thrives.
Perfect for: KS1-KS5 | PE, Design & Technology | Residential developments, school grounds, public parks, regeneration
SHAPING PLAYFUL SPACES
Walking through time – connecting young people with the stories that surround them
Students become heritage detectives, uncovering the historical narratives embedded in their local built environment. Through guided exploration and investigative research, young people learn to ‘read’ buildings, interpret architectural clues, and understand how past events shaped present spaces.
Participants develop wayfinding trails, create interpretive materials, and propose ways to make heritage accessible and engaging for all.
This programme builds observational skills, historical understanding, and heritage advocacy while fostering pride in local identity.
HERITAGE TRAILS demonstrates how sensitive development can preserve and celebrate what came before. Preserve the past, inspire the future – heritage education that honours community legacy.
Perfect for: KS2-KS4 | History, English, Geography | Conservation areas, historic neighbourhoods, heritage-led regeneration
