We are all affected by the characteristics of the different spaces and places around us. The way things look, sound, feel and smell is also uniquely individual. The combination of the physical environment and our own sensory responses can create positive or negative experiences. Stephen Long from SFT and Jean Hewitt from Buro Happold will explore how learning environments can be sensory inclusive to enhance the experiences of all users, including children and young people, staff and the wider community.
