Hello!

Thank you for dropping by. If you are keen to join us on our mission to explore concepts of the rural idyll via design, community engagement and climate literacy you’re in the right place!

We are always keen to explore new collaborations; our latest venture is our fieldwork in Spring 2024 leading in the near future to our full Spring School programme in 2025 and a membership community called People and Place, Sykourio. If you would like to support us, have any questions regarding the applications process or have another project you would like to discuss please email us below. Wherever you are in the process, we would love to hear from you.

Warmest wishes,

Jen, Carolina and the People and Place Team
