At Stamford North, we’re excited to offer a dynamic schools programme for primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities. Students can get involved in shaping their future community through interactive activities like youth panels, hands-on workshops, and behind-the-scenes site visits.
Our programme sparks curiosity and inspires careers in master development, sustainability, engineering and more – while connecting students with real-world experiences that build pride in the places they’ll live and work.
If you work with young people or your school would be interested, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and set up a meeting today.
Partnerships with Schools
Young people are key to shaping vibrant, inclusive communities. By the time construction has ended they will be among those most likely to live in the new homes. Yet they are often overlooked during the consultation processes.
Our partnership with local schools serves two purposes:
- Amplifying Youth Voices – By involving young people in design and decision-making, we can create spaces that truly meet their needs.
- Inspiring Future Careers – Early exposure to a variety of roles within urban development can spark interest in careers that help shape communities, from urban planning and architecture to ecology and engineering.
We aim to empower students to influence their surroundings while broadening their career aspirations.
Ways We Can Work Together:
Youth Design Review Panel
- Establish a student panel (ages 13–17) to meet once a term, offering input on plans and designs.
