We are pleased to invite you to our next workshop day which will take place on 1 July 2022 in Kleingurmels in the canton of Freiburg.

During the day, participants will dismantle building components, allowing them to experience the potential of reuse. Professionals from the sector such as Professor Corentin Fivet and architect and lecturer Alia Bengana will also be present to provide input to the debate on these different themes. The workshop culminates in an exhibition in which the whole process of reusing building elements is presented. An aperitif and round table discussion will conclude the workshop day.
