As part of the public consultation process which the City of London Corporation undertook for the City Plan 2036, Beyond The Box were invited to design a bespoke engagement workshop aimed at engaging young Londoners between the ages of 16-25.

Each of the student collaborators took responsibility for one workshop theme, and were supported by Beyond The Box to design a workshop that would creatively engage young participants with the City Plan, drawing out insights, views and opinions from their peers. Each of the young collaborators then took responsibility for delivering that workshop theme, empowering young people to lead on conversations about their City with their peers.
