This summer, Cube is partnering with The Architecture Foundation to deliver an architecture education programme for 16-19 year olds, which will focus on Cheetham Hill, Hulme and New Islington.

Over ten days between June and November, the participants will work with some of the UK’s most exciting architects, designers, artists and filmmakers, along with communications experts, journalists, planners, community groups and historians. They will critically explore recent developments in Manchester along with proposed changes and produce a body of work and a film which they will present at a final event in November in a temporary cinema that they will design.

We are also working to secure funding for a foreign trip.

We are looking to recruit six young people who live or study in Cheetham Hill, Hulme and New Islington. The programme would be of particular interest to young people considering further study in the built environment or the arts. We will ask interested young people to complete a simple application form, and will select on the basis of their answers to the question ‘What, for you, is the most interesting space in Manchester?’

All the activities are free, will take place outside school time, and participants will receive £10 per day to cover travel and lunch expenses.

This will be the seventh of The Architecture Foundation’s Urban Pioneers education programmes, and the first to take place outside of London. For more information, please visit
