Description: On June 24th the easaUK team, backed by SCHOSA, is hosting conference for UK students of architecture at the Manchester School of Architecture. The conference is a chance to return the energy generated by easa010 returning to the country that not only spawned it, but that also has a great, now lost, tradition of Winter Schools.

The conference, organised and run by the esasa010 team, is intended to spread the experience the team has gained over the last two years around institutions unable to be part of the European event, with the aim of creating a similar IK based event.

Talks will cover the history of Winter School and EASA, team building, fundraising, promotion and the media and legal considerations. All talks will draw directly from the experience the team has gained from working on EASA, running smaller workshops and the easaHQ gallery.

Delegates will have the chance to debate all topics and there is a provision in the timetable dedicated to networking, giving the delegates the opportunity to discuss future conferences and events.
Start Time: 09:30
Date: 2010-06-24
End Time: 18:30
