Open-City Education Fund

The Open-City Education Fund is a business and skills development initiative that enables professionals – especially those who are or who seek to be involved in design for education - to draw on our expertise in engagement and action research.

Membership of the Fund is open to all staff of the supporting company, and the Fund offers opportunities for staff at all levels to build their skills: from learning how best to engage with the non-professional to developing contacts with contractors, local authorities and other decision-makers.

Ultimately the Fund will create a catalyst for new thinking and research that will continue to push the boundaries of innovation in architecture education.
