Education is an integral part of the work of the Solent Centre for Architecture + Design. The Centre supports and promotes education in all aspects of its work as a way of generating greater understanding of the importance of the environment and the way in which the people can play a role in managing it.

We tailor our education projects and initiatives to have immediate relevance to both formal and informal learners.  This is especially true for schools where there is a new emphasis on extending creativity and creative teaching across all subject areas, as well as a renewed concern with citizenship.

"Citizenship is more than a statutory subject.  If taught well and tailored to local needs, its skills and values will enhance democratic life for us all, beginning in school and radiating out".
