Webinar
Bringing creativity and beauty to Europe's green transition
24 January 2024 | 16:00-17:30 CET
What do design competitions, 3D printers and beauty have to do with Europe’s journey to becoming a climate-neutral continent? What is the role of innovative building techniques in sustainable architecture? Why is community involvement important in the green transformation process?
On 24 January, participants joined webinar hosts Ewa Iwaszuk and Aaron Best from Ecologic Institute and their two expert guests: Alina-Stefania Ujupan is part of the team behind the European Commission’s New European Bauhaus Initiative. Edouard Cabay is the winner of a recent New European Bauhaus prize for Spain’s first 3D-printed building using earth.
They looked at the New European Bauhaus Initiative and discussed how the EU can integrate science, technology, art, culture and community participation to enhance sustainability in the European Union.
The webinar is part of a new webinar series for young people in Europe that Ecologic Institute kick-started in 2022.
