About
The aim of the Summer School is to enhance the participants’ knowledge and skills to work successfully in the construction and woodworking industry and to enrich them with other skills that are much needed in the 21st century, namely the competencies needed for the transition to a sustainable, digital and inclusive future within the construction ecosystem, as the construction sector plays a very important role in global environmental issues. The focus is therefore on the transition to a sustainable society and building a sustainable, digital and inclusive future together. It is also an opportunity for participants to forge important business links that will be key to building an international team that will co-create an innovative built environment.
