ECOWEEK ...habits change ... climate change |
ECOWEEK was created in 2005
with the passion to change people's habits ('habits change climate
change' is our motto) and the mission to raise environmental awareness,
and to engage the public in promoting the principles of social and
environmental sustainability through design. ECOWEEK has developed
programs in 17 countries and a network in 56 countries.
|
Through collaborative design process and design-build interventions
and placemaking in public spaces and public institutions ECOWEEK innovates
in environmentally and socially-conscious design and action.
|
Starting in 2020, with COVID-19 restrictions on travel and social gathering,
ECOWEEK has developed online programs, celebrating 15-years
of activity with online and hybrid programs.
