DO YOU WANT TO BECOME A LEADER OF THE LIVING FUTURE REGENERATIVE DESIGN MOVEMENT?

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. Business as Usual, only reducing impact, remains the dominant, degenerative discourse. A discourse that has allowed most players to hide behind a mask of doing as little as possible. There is a real and urgent need to now scale jump from the few regenerative (buildings, materials, places, organisations) to where regenerative solutions are the dominant mindsets, approaches and methodologies.

One of the areas where we at Living Future Europe deem a 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 and solve the sticky bottlenecks (technical, industrial, financial, cultural) in order to scale up our impact. 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', an online educational program running between September and December 2021, where we want to address the 'why', the 'what' and the 'how' of living buildings, products, and communities.

• Why - the rationale and urgency behind the need for a paradigm shift in the built environment design, construction and building management.
• What - the most advanced applicable frameworks that developers, designers, builders, manufacturers can adopt to achieve this new type of regenerative buildings.
• How - sound and robust examples and best practices immediately applicable, coming from the experience of our first more than 750 ILFI registered building projects globally.

The Masterclass will include synchronous and asynchronous activities, with a balanced mix of insights, practical examples, and tools.  We will work according to an Agile Framework using Agile tools and practices.

Full positive attendance to the program will provide trainees the opportunity to take part at a hybrid event to be organised concurrent with the next COP26 (2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference), in Glasgow (1-12 November 2021).

The COP26 session will be a fully facilitated day (online/offline/hybrid TBD), with external provocations, invitations, and reflections, developing a LFE Masterclass unique and time stamped COP26 pathway to a regenerative future.

This initiative falls within our partnership with the New European Bauhaus. This will include a series of presentations by and for the trainees describing how the seven Petals of LBC are aligned with the NEB. Moreover, in a hands-on training approach, we will present case studies of LBC registered or certified buildings in Europe, that represent leading examples for the ambition of the NEB initiative.

• Hands-on Living Building Challenge experience
• 30 online classroom hrs (+ remote work) with qualified trainers from the LFE Network
• The Why / the What / the How of LBC
• Individual / teamwork learning process
• Agile PM approach
• Europe based case studies and insights
• Online tutoring
• Including 2021 LFE x COP26 Meet-up participation
• Final event w/ teamwork results presentation
• A complementary path to the LFA Foundational Curriculum
• LFA Foundational Curriculum at a discounted price

Kitto Box 

Kitto is a box to do things ‘out of the box’.

It has been designed, developed, and tested on several training sessions during the first COVID-19 lockdown as a deliberate experiment to improve the way we share information, knowledge, and emotions when we are learning

Kitto is specifically built to support online learning experiences, engaging learners in a variety of sensory experiences: the materiality of its notebooks and games, the taste and smell provided by perfumes and tea bags, the sense of sight and curiosity enhanced by its carefully designed fonts, lines, spaces, and colours.

Kitto is a multi-sensorial journey to keep - using the words of Prof. Bruno Munari - the high sensory receptiveness needed to receive data from what is outside us and transform ourselves. And to get in touch with our innovative potential, to be able to have a real impact in our world, shifting to a higher state of awareness and transforming the human structures around us.
