PLACED

PLACED specialises in place education and engagement, developing knowledge and community insights into the built environment. They believe that everyone is an expert when it comes to the places where they live, work or spend time.

By bringing collaboration and diversity to discussions, PLACED create opportunities for quality conversations and genuine engagement, whilst supporting those who are traditionally under-represented in having their voices heard.

PLACED Academy was launched in 2019 to provide free-to-access creative programmes about the built environment for young people from across the Northwest, empowering young people to shape the places we live, work, and spend time.
