Episode Synopsis "The Youtopia Series - Convivial Responsibility with Neil Pinder"
EPISODE 3 - Today we're talking 'Money + Power + Control', and the concept of convivial responsibility. This is the idea of what we as a society owes each other - be that economically, or in terms of resources. Here I wanted to tackle one of the most important resources, knowledge – who holds the keys and the ability to shape the information that we share, how it is shared, and who has access to it... I’m joined by Neil Pinder, who shares his insights as an architectural educator and the unconventional journey he took to create his career. Neil has been an educator in London for over 25 years and works to introduce architecture to students at different stages in their education. He founded "Celebrating Architecture" with Venetia Wolfenden, as well as 'HomegrownPlus' and 'GLAM goes Global'. Since officially launching at the RCA in 2018, and over the last two summers, Celebrating Architecture has hosted workshop days at London pavilion structures for 175 young people from ALL backgrounds (‘non-traditional’ and ‘traditional’).
