Our bursary scheme is now closed for new applications.
We plan to relaunch the scheme in October 2014 when we will be offering three awards of £1000 for Doncaster students to study built environment subjects such as town planning, architecture, urban design, building conservation and landscape architecture to degree level.
The awards will start in academic year 2015/16.
If you are interested in a Doncaster Civic Trust bursary, please visit our website in autumn for information on how to apply.
We are delighted to announce the launch of our brand new ‘Doncaster Toolkit’.
Since 2012, the Trust have been working with the University of Sheffield’s schools of education and architecture to create a learning package for Doncaster schools. The aim of the Toolkit is to help local schoolchildren acquire a better understanding of the principles of architecture in a local context. We hope this will help them to appreciate Doncaster’s rich built heritage and encourage a new generation to become involved in influencing the local decision-makers to demand the best standards of architecture, urban design and town planning in Doncaster.
The Toolkit has been distributed to all primary and secondary schools in the borough and is suitable for pupils in years 5 and above.
It consists of a board game, a teachers’ activity guide containing over forty exercises, a supporting website with research material and a smartphone app introducing two guided walks around the town centre exploring some of its history and architecture.
You can find out more about the Toolkit by visiting the website:- www.doncastertoolkit.co.uk
If you would like a hard copy, these are available from the Trust secretary at a cost of £19.95 plus £3 p&p.
Our special thanks go out to Eirini Christofidou, Lisa Procter and all of the staff and students at the university who made this project possible.
