3 April 2024 17:00-19:00 CEST (UTC+2)
The ‘Living Future Europe Masterclass’ is an online educational program running between February and May 2024, where we want to address the ‘why’, the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ of living buildings, products, and communities.
Organization: Living Future Europe.

The built environment sector (supply, design, construction, manage), despite decades (of reports, training, strategies, legislation) is simply not making real progress within the sustainability agenda and the imperative of resilience. Business-as-usual, only reducing impact, remains the dominant, degenerative discourse.
One of the areas where we at Living Future Europe believe faster and more effective progress is needed is education and communication. On one hand, we need to train new generations of practitioners to make living buildings real. On the other hand, we need to communicate constantly in an invigorating way that regenerative buildings, products, companies, and communities are vital, technically feasible, ecologically robust, and economically viable.
To achieve these goals, we have established the ‘Living Future Europe Masterclass’, the third edition of the online educational program running between February and May 2024. The upcoming Masterclass, much like in previous years, will focus on education as a powerful tool in affecting progress towards regenerative design. This year we would like to pushing the boundaries even further. Our goal with this edition is to build on the past edition’s success, and address the ‘why’, the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ of living buildings, products, and communities.
