About the Symposium

The symposium offers an exchange platform on the topic of networks, neighbourhoods and negotiations for reconstruction. A central role in reconstruction is played by people, initiatives and organisations, some of which are involved in reconstruction on a daily basis. We want to talk about the framework and fields of action of participation and engagement, talk about sustainable and resource-saving approaches, build networks and enable synergies.
