engaging places

Engaging Places is an initiative that promotes teaching and learning throughout the built environment, from grand historic buildings to the streets and neighbourhoods where we live.

Engaging Places helps deliver the new secondary school curriculum. It supports Learning outside the classroom and Find your talent initiatives, and is itself supported by a national partnership of leading cultural and education organisations.

It includes:

  • A major online teaching resource: visit the Engaging Places website
  • A co-development network for schools and educators, providing practical local support and resources

Schools can use Engaging Places resources to:

  • Access a nationwide directory of organisations and venues, including architecture centres, museums and historic buildings
  • Search for high quality resources and materials by curriculum theme or whole school issues
  • Access case studies from other teachers

Engaging Places has been funded by the Government and is managed by the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) and English Heritage.
