IV EPA Network Meeting – Education Through Architecture
Architecture represents a unique field of possibilities as an educational tool. By fostering reflection on the world we inhabit and on the ways we relate to places, it becomes possible to engage society as a whole in building more inclusive, sustainable, and human-centered cities.
With the strategic support of the National Arts Plan, the EPA Meetings aim to share knowledge and provide tools for the development of educational practices related to architecture in school contexts, encouraging reflection on space, landscape, and territory.
The fourth edition will take place on 17 October in Coimbra, in a hybrid format (in-person and livestreamed online). The programme will feature presentations of national educational projects and include the participation of international initiatives from Germany. The full programme will be announced shortly.
