Education

Temple Bar works with educational organisations, schools and colleges to encourage interest in the built environment, creating greater diversity in the industry.

Schools, colleges and educational organisations are invited to contact Grant Smith, Education and Outreach Officer about visits, workshops, or walks and talks aimed at student audiences. Programmes focus on the understanding of buildings, of the architecture and development of the City of London, architecture and the built environment as a career with a particular focus on how students from diverse backgrounds can access jobs in the industry. The programme is supported by members of the Architects’ Company who can provide mentoring to those in tertiary courses.

The Trust offers discounted space to learning managers in the City and work with the City Centre Learning Programme youth course to provide workshops for local school children.
