During half term, young people from Carney's Community Boxing Gym helped paint their mural. The design features elements integral to their local community such as boxing, cooking and cycling.

Love to see this! Over half term @RCAarchitecture grads from @Poor_Collective have been busy working with young people from @CarneyCommunity, a youth centre neighbouring our Battersea campus. Part of a collaboration with RCA Community Engagement & @wandsworthart. Check it out 👇
A recent #ClimateLiteracy workshop sponsored by @TRADA_ with contribution from @ArchitectsCAN involved students+tutors from 18 U.K. schools of architecture. Some audience participation gave attendees a space to share personal responses to both the #ClimateCrisis + the workshop.
Earlier this week co-founder Shawn Adams was invited to speak as part of @SLG_artupdates's Convergence: Community Building Places event.

A cheesy shot from our interview today with @Poor_collective. The guys spoke about their upcoming mural project with young people @CarneyCommunity, the urgent need for diversity of thought & for young voices to be heard by those in leadership positions. Interview drops next week!
We're really excited for tonight's Tuesday Talk. We are joined by @Poor_collective who are doing amazing work developing a focus on communities within the built environment. They will be discussing The Power of Young Voices & value of young voices within our profession #htasocial
