Abstract
The primary school programme discussed in this article has elements of spatial education limited in scope. A primary school person does not learn systematically the principles of the valuable shaping of architectural and urban space. This deficiency is difficult to rectify in high school, where the topic is presented selectively and fragmentarily. As a result, the majority of adults are not able to participate in public debate on shaping their environment. The spatial education programme, Young Architects, organised for separate age groups at the early, middle and late school educational levels has been designed to address this deficiency. For the purposes of this study, a sample of 61 students was used. Students were surveyed before and after a workshop, where criterion-based cognitive, psychomotor and interpersonal skills were assessed. It was found through the study outlined in this article that the competencies of students increased after participation in the programme.
