Sheffield – ‘Our Urban Playground’
Want to come and play?
Join 25 young people from Sheffield to take part in FREE workshops running this April. We’ll be exploring the potential for urban sports activities in Sheffield and developing design proposals that will be exhibited in the city.
You don’t have to be an expert in architecture or design, but if you have a keen interest in this area these workshops will be perfect for you. We want to work with you and your ideas, so simply bring along yourself and your enthusiasm, the rest we will provide! Lunch & travel expenses will be covered so there’s every reason to join in with our exploration of Sheffield.
