Volunteer with Architects Climate Action Network (ACAN!)
New AIAUK Volunteering Initiative
AIA UK is all about building community, and so we're delighted to announce that we're starting a program of collaborative volunteering initiatives for you to get involved in a variety of new communities, in and outside of the architectural world.
We are delighted to kick-off this initiative by collaborating with the Architects Climate Action Network (ACAN!), starting with a series of youth sustainability workshops - combining two key focus areas of AIAUK of climate action and student support. ACAN! is a dynamic network of architecture and built environment professionals dedicated to addressing the climate and ecological crises through activism, education, and systemic change. Together, we will help deliver engaging workshops that introduce children to key sustainability themes using creative, hands-on projects. The first workshop, titled "Introduction to Circularity" will take place on December 14th, marking the start of an inspiring journey to empower young minds to shape a resilient and caring future. For further information please register your interest here.
We are also very pleased to be collaborating with the Ukraine Arts Hub on their work providing creative art classes for Ukrainian refugee children.
Details of all our upcoming volunteering opportunities will be automatically emailed to all members. Our new Director of Volunteering Kristy Sels is developing our program of collaborations over the coming months, so do please get in touch with her directly at volunteering@aiauk.org with ideas and opportunities to share.
