Education Programme


The Aga Khan Trust for Culture Education Programme aims to promote broader and deeper awareness among young people of the philosophy and values that underpin the efforts of the Trust. We have developed teaching materials and processes to enable the wealth of knowledge accumulated by two of the Trust’s key programmes – the Aga Khan Award for Architecture and the Aga Khan Historic Cities Programme – to be shared with university and high school students, as well as a broader interested public.


“
How and where do we teach about architecture? How can we anticipate and occasionally help steer the processes of change? How do we best reward and learn from those who are most successful? How can we share our lessons with others outside the Ummah?

We have partnered with experts to prepare a series of pedagogical outputs. These include teaching packages, lectures, MOOCs and curriculum units. The Programme has also partnered with educational institutions to generate dedicated elective courses, field schools and workshops.
