Participatory Lab: Empowering Communities Through Inclusive Renovation and Regional Sustainability

How can renovation of buildings empower citizens and strengthen communities? This participatory lab brings together three initiatives—CLR, FORTESIE (Just a Change), and RENOVERTY—that place people at the heart of building renovation. Through interactive group discussions, we will explore how citizen-led and community-based approaches can tackle housing poverty, energy vulnerability, and regional disparities. Participants will co-develop ideas for inclusive renovation strategies that ensure everyone has the right to stay in the place they call home.
