“The PLACED Academy is an approachable, authentic, inspiring deep dive into the built environment world for young people. It’s a world all of us live in but only a few feel empowered to engage in and PLACED Academy changes that. We at Turner.Works are proud to support the programme this year and look forward to learning from and meeting the young people that take part. Thank you Jo Harrop and all the team at PLACED.“
