  • "Working with Beyond the Box and the My Palace cohort of young Londoners has captured a wealth of creative insights, curious questioning and innovative design proposals for the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre redevelopment project. The redevelopment will secure a future for the facility for the next generation- which is why it’s so important that young people have a voice in the design and direction of the project. The unique engagement approach and careful research and observations undertaken by the cohort will contribute to a more equitable, more accessible centre and a better, more inclusive experience for all."
