Reimagining Place: Women, Climate & the Future of Design

WEBINAR | 1PM BST, 28 April 2025

How can architecture and engineering drive social and climate justice? We’re bringing together voices in design, development and sustainability to discuss how co-designed, resilient housing can build a fairer future. We’ve seen first hand through AzuKo’s work that when women have access to technical education, whole communities can thrive.

Join AzuKo for an inspiring online conversation exploring how the built environment can drive both climate and social justice. We’re bringing together leaders from the worlds of architecture, engineering, and sustainable development to explore the power of co-designed, resilient housing. Drawing on lived experience and professional insight, our speakers will discuss how design can empower communities, adapt to climate threats, and build a fairer future for all.

This event is ideal for professionals in the housing, development, or environmental sectors, as well as anyone passionate about equity in the built environment.

This webinar may count towards your CPD.
Suggested donation: £25 to be made during the Big Give Green Match Week (22nd-29th April)

Why now?

This event is part of our week-long Green Match Fund campaign, running from 22–29 April. During this time, every donation to AzuKo will be doubled by The Big Give, at no extra cost to you.

By attending the event and making a donation within this week, your contribution will go twice as far in helping us deliver life-changing design support to communities most affected by poverty and climate change.


Your donation in action

When you support AzuKo, you help fund practical design projects that improve daily life for people living in vulnerable conditions.

Take Sumi Roy, a mother of two from a rural village in Bangladesh. Until recently, Sumi cooked outdoors in unsafe conditions. With AzuKo’s support, her family co-designed and built a kitchen of their own. It was a small change that made a big difference, giving her safety, dignity, and the chance to dream bigger for her daughters.

Before, we only had an open space for cooking. Now, with the kitchen we built, I can prepare food safely for my family. There’s still a lot to do, but this is a huge step forward for us.
— Sumi Roy

Projects like Sumi’s show how women’s leadership, community co-design, and climate-resilient housing come together to shape a more equitable future – the very themes we’ll explore in our webinar.

Our campaign will run from noon on Tuesday 22nd to noon on Tuesday 29th April 2025.

How does it work?

Big Give Green Match Fund is a seven-day online match funding campaign dedicated to helping charities playing a vital role in tackling pressing environmental issues. AzuKo has been allocated a 'matching pot' to double donations made by our supporters. This means that there’s no better time to donate to us. One donation, twice the impact.

Please note: Donations made by cheque, or donated directly to AzuKo via AzuKo’s website won’t qualify for doubling. Your donation will only be doubled via AzuKo’s campaign page here
