Join the Women in Architecture team for a morning

Join the Women in Architecture team for a morning yoga and wellbeing session ran by Barefoot Birmingham founder, Faye Fenton, as part of Mental Health Awareness Week. An opportunity to connect face-to-face with like-minded women, build your network over breakfast, as well as to decompress, practice mindfulness and take some time out from our fast-paced jobs.

This session is open to everyone of all abilities, with equipment and breakfast provided.

These mentoring mornings are aimed at women in the architecture and design industry from all stages in their career: student, professional or other. By opening up a forum for discussion, we hope to disrupt the familiar narrative of architectural history, from which women have been largely erased, by advocating for, supporting, inspiring and championing women in architecture. In the profession today, women still earn less; occupy few senior leadership roles and often leave before fulfilling their potential. As a result, contemporary practice has been deprived of women's voices, inspiration and role models, creating a legacy of unconscious bias. This affects women's careers and the fabric of our cities.

These conversations will take place in a safe space on a monthly basis, out of which we hope we can start to identify and advocate for concrete proposals for policy changes to aid women's development in the profession and education - and help make our cities better places for women.

We look forward to seeing you there!
