On 9 May 2024 took place the first demonstration workshop of the two committed by the Diputación of Badajoz for the After LIFE period of the LIFE-myBUILDINGisGREEN project.

The workshop, which was organised by the Ecological Transition Area of the Diputación of Badajoz, was attended by 15 students from the PIT Programme of the INTROMAC Training Centre – Technological Institute of Ornamental Rocks and Construction Materials.

Miguel Ángel Antón, architect of the Ecological Transition Area, was in charge of showing the Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) implemented at the Gabriela Mistral school during the project. During the workshop, the materials used, the methodology employed, the NBS effectiveness indicators measured, etc. were explained. This workshop facilitates the transferability of results and expert discussion around the NBS and prototypes installed in a way that promotes the replication and scaling of these solutions to other similar buildings.

The full programme of the visit, available only in Spanish, can be consulted through this link.

The profile of the participating students is related to university education in architecture, engineering and professional training in building, and is aimed at professionals in the world of building in order to demonstrate the advantages of the NBS implemented to adapt the centre to climate change, improve energy efficiency and thermal comfort of the educational community, as well as to promote biodiversity.
