Session Details:
Session 1: Resource Protection, Building Culture & Circular Economy
This session addresses the practical implementation of sustainable building practices. How can concepts like circular economy, resource protection, and material conservation be put into practice?
Session 2: Work Cultures & Social Sustainability
In this session, we’ll explore the broader themes of the Bauwende: How can we redesign collaboration in the construction sector? Which roles and activities are seen as meaningful, and how can construction contribute to the public good?
Session 3: Education, Research & Practice
Education and research play a key role in shaping the framework for the Bauwende. In smaller discussion groups, we’ll explore current developments and specific opportunities for action. Those who prefer hands-on learning can join practical workshops and dive into craftsmanship!
