At Open City we are committed to removing barriers between people and their built environment. Whether it is through free learning activities for children at home, practical architectural workshops in schools or through mentoring 16-18 year olds, our pioneering design education programmes aim to make sure all children and young people engage with the places where they live, learn and play.   

The #OurLondon match-funding campaign aims to raise £10,000 to support children and young people from disadvantaged and under-represented backgrounds take part in our programmes helping them reconnect with their city and provide free learning and mentoring activities to inspire the next generation of city-shapers and increase diversity in the architecture profession.

We can only keep our events free and accessible to children and young people due to the generous support of our sponsors and the public. If you would like to ensure we can continue to bring the built environment alive for all of the city’s children and young people then please support Open City’s Children and Young People programmes and donate to the #OurLondon campaign.
