Why hubs matter for community is the second of three panel discussions associated with the Sharing Schools, Building Communities exhibition open this July and August 2022.
Our expert panel will explore how schools as community hubs impact their neighbourhoods, compared to decentralised community education and services, and explain the gaps or pressure points in infrastructure, service planning and provision.
The Melbourne School of Design is proud to launch our latest Dulux Gallery exhibition which explores and celebrates the value of schools as community hubs.
Discover the latest evidence and expert advice about designing, developing and sustaining schools as community hubs to enhance education, health and social connection. Sharing Schools, Building Communities presents the continuum of school-community connections and celebrates success stories to inspire and inform those just starting their hub journey.
