How do we engage younger people in designing space and activities?

The first session, on Thursday 17 February, will feature BeatFreeks, Women in Sport and Oxfordshire County Council Public Health and focus on how we engage younger people in designing space and the activities that will draw them in. Find out more and register for Thursday 17 February.

The second session will be led by Make Space for Girls, who will be joined by Women in Sport to explore how we might turn that into action with ideas of more equitable, accessible spaces for all. Find out more and register for Thursday 3 March.
