Learning Spaces consultancy

Futurelab is carrying out workshops and consultancy with schools and local authorities to support innovative thinking around school redesign. These activities are aimed at the pre-engagement or visioning phase of redesign programmes.

Through working with staff, pupils and other key stakeholders, the aim is to challenge schools and authorities to think differently in creating a compelling vision of a transformed educational future and to explore the possibilities of space, curriculum and school redesign in order to develop approaches to education appropriate for the 21st century.

For further information about these workshops or to express an interest in working with Futurelab, please contact tim [dot] rudd [at] futurelab [dot] org [dot] uk.
