Third place theory: making a difference to social progress and urban landscapes
Thursday April 9, 2026 14:00 - 14:50 BST
SG03/S103
Third places are social environments that are distinct from home (the first place) and work (the second place). They are gathering spaces, such as cafes, pubs, parks and community centres, which help to create vibrant, connected communities. Join Discover the World Education and the GA as we explore the theory of third place and discuss how this interesting theory - which is evidenced to make a difference to an area in terms of social progress, wellbeing and urban design - can be incorporated into your KS3 schemes of work.
