Our interns had themselves experienced UrbanPlan as students 2 years ago, as 10th graders at ISF Academy, which gave them a unique insight into what the Marymount student teams were experiencing.
Marymount Secondary School Workshop, 11 June 2021
UrbanPlan was rolled out for the first time to a younger Secondary 1 cohort over 5 days in June at Marymount Secondary School.

Feedback from Participants
“I really enjoyed the workshop today and the industry volunteers were really insightful.”
Students
“I think that the urban planning process is a lot more complicated than I had originally thought. On top of the planning of an urban area, you need to consider the opinions and perspectives of your teammates, which sometimes conflicts with my own opinions. There are lots of perspectives that we need to take into consideration and sort out.”
“The students have been completely 100% engaged in the whole process.”
Teachers
“It was an excellent experience both the students and I enjoyed very much. It provided the students a very good experiential learning opportunity. The workshop was organised and led by the team professionally. It also enhanced some of the students’ interest in urban geography (some of the girls didn’t like this topic before). Thanks very much for coming!!”
“I enjoy engaging with students so this is truly a meaningful event to me.”
Volunteers
“A great program, a great experience – keep it up!”
