ECOCONSTRUCTION THURSDAYS - WEBINAR 2/3 : Ecoconstruction training at all levels

They will successively address 3 key themes for the deployment and scaling up, by crossing perspectives from the South and the North:

1. Towards a standardization of the sector: materials, techniques, construction of a sector
2. Ecoconstruction training at all levels : SKILLS DEVELOPMENT - QUALIFICATION - EMPLOYABILITY
3. Change the image and amplify the impact of ecoconstruction: extension, communication, and scaling up

Webinar No. 2 in a few key words:

• Strengthening skills at all levels of the sector (artisans, engineers, architects, decision-makers) through training, certification and articulation with the labor market.
• Promote coherent and recognized training in ecoconstruction by integrating its principles into technical and higher education curricula, while structuring the certification of professional skills.
• Structuring of networks and mobilization of stakeholders (institutions, companies, civil society) to pool experiences, share innovations and encourage public and private involvement in the scaling up of ecoconstruction.

This webinar n°2 aims to bring together public, private, academic and professional stakeholders around the issues of training, skills certification and structuring of ecoconstruction sectors at national and regional level.
