The Small is… Festival is a celebration and evolution of the ideas of Small is Beautiful, held in the beautiful grounds of the international development charity Practical Action, in the Warwickshire countryside.

The event, organised by Practical Action and Engineers Without Borders UK, provides a space to share skills, learn about technologies, create networks, develop ideas and to be inspired about international development and the planet.

We were founded on the idea that young people should have ways to use their skills to help people in poverty around the world. So we are an organisation run by young people. Want to join the team?

We have a wide range of exciting volunteer roles available - and we'll give you the budget and support you need to make things happen. Applications open - find out more and apply online.

We believe that engineering can make a lasting positive difference to the lives of people in poverty. There are many stories to tell, and we want to help you tell yours! So, we're pleased to announce our latest photography competition. Win some fantastic prizes and the chance to have your work exhibited nationwide and beyond! Entries by email; read on for details of the competition rules and how to enter.
