<BR>
Dear colleagues<BR>
<BR>
I work for Children in Scotland, the long-standing national umbrella agency for the whole of the children's sector in Scotland. I though you might be interested to hear about </SPAN><FONT SIZE="4"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:13.0px'>Making Space 2010, an international architecture award supported by the Scottish Government and OECD Centre for Effective Learning Environments. Submissions are invited from across the world for the most successful building or space (indoor or outdoor) for children and young people aged 0-18 (inclusive), completed between January 2005 and December 2010.<BR>
<BR>
We have have not had many entries from America and I am hoping to circulate the information as widely as possible to generate some further interest and would be delighted if you could forwarded the information within your networks<BR>
<BR>
Entries are welcomed for any building or space that is for children and young people from schools to street furnishings, recreational or educational, rural or urban.<BR>
<BR>
Entries should exemplify innovation and creativity in design as well as demonstrating a strong process of user participation and involvement. Entries are encouraged from anyone involved in the creation and use of a building or space, for example, architects, designers, structural engineers, urban designers, landscape designers, teachers, educators, users, children and young people, commercial developers, community groups, design consultancies.<BR>
<BR>
Full entries must be received by 8 August 2010 and award winners will be announced at an international conference on 7-8 October 2010 in Edinburgh. This major conference brings together a range of international experts who will examine issues related to children and space from aspects of how children and young people relate to their environment and its impact on their development and what we need to focus on in the future.<BR>
<BR>
Please find attached documents outlining the award and international conference if you wish to circulate to any colleagues who may be interested. Further information about the award, conference and entry registration can be viewed online at www.childreninscotland.org.uk/makingspace <a href="http://www.childreninscotland.org.uk/makingspace"><http://www.childreninscotland.org.uk/makingspace></a> .<BR>
