YOUTH VOICE.
At PLACED Academy, we’re committed to strengthening diversity and representation within the built environment, recognising that spaces should be designed by and for the communities that live, work and spend time in them. By actively engaging young people from all backgrounds and centring youth voice, we widen access and support social mobility, removing barriers and connecting young people to real routes into the sector.
WHO ARE PLACED?
We are PLACED, the team behind PLACED Academy. We bring people together to create better places. As a social enterprise and specialists in engagement, community facilitation and education, we believe everyone should have the chance to shape the places where they live, work and play.
Our work focuses on helping less-heard voices influence design, development and planning, and on turning complex issues into conversations people can genuinely take part in.
As a community interest company, we reinvest our surplus back into our communities. That helps us fund and sustain programmes like PLACED Academy, supporting more young people to build confidence, develop skills and explore real routes into the built environment industry.
