Spaces play a crucial role in fostering a sense of belonging within the community. Inclusive spaces are environments where all individuals feel welcomed, valued, respected, and supported, regardless of their identity, background, or experiences.
Join RIBA North West for this special event which will enable architects, built environment professionals, and the LGBTQ+ community in Liverpool to exchange knowledge and explore ways to create and develop inclusive spaces in the city.
The agenda will include presentations, interactive discussions, and a fun and creative design charette.
