Women in Architecture 'Mochas and Mentoring' Mornings

Join the Women in Architecture team for the second in our series Mentoring Mornings, where we will be encouraging conversation, collaboration and connections between women of all backgrounds, ages and career stages. An opportunity to connect face-to-face with like-minded women and build your network over breakfast.

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.

If you are signing up as a student, please ensure you select a 'Student' ticket, and sign up with your educational email address. Any 'Student' ticket orders without an educational email address will be cancelled.

This is a free event but booking is essential with spaces limited. We look forward to seeing you there!
