Every year, we take clients on a tour of our birthplace in the Czech Republic.
It is a week filled with educational experiences, exchanges of ideas, and good food and drink!
This year, we are taking the concept one step further by making a "field trip" out of it! Surely you remember your schooldays, where field trips were highly anticipated events that bonded you with your classmates. You'd all pile onto a bus and play games on the way to your destination. "Getting there" was part of the fun.
Let us take you on our version of this classic event - an upgrade from the days of the big yellow school bus, this is the field trip re-defined. A tour throughout some of the most beautiful and unique cities in Europe, known for their architecture and design. An opportunity to discuss ideas amongst peers and share a laugh over dinner.
Come experience the magic of the Field Trip with us.
As this year’s theme suggests, our speakers will put “people”
in the centre of landscape architecture and they will share their views on the importance to recognise the value of diversity and inclusion in public space designs.
