Within the last three years of activities, participatory actions and pedagogical and research activities have brought together various stakeholders and disciplines. Some of the most relevant events organized by the network are:
- three international conferences on the theme “Global Dwelling” carried out in Barcelona (2014), Bratislava (2015) and Manchester (2016).
- three international workshops with the participation of students and tutors from the participating schools, dedicated to analyze issues related with contemporary dwelling at its various scales in case studies located in Lisbon (2014), Berlin/Cottbus (2015) and Belgrade (2016).
- 15 working meetings dedicated to debate issues related with contemporary dwelling with regard to research on housing studies, community participation and pedagogic innovation.
The carried out intensive work during the last three years has delivered numerous reports, publications, blogs and videos which are available in the projects` website. A book summarizing the network activity in the last three years is being completed and is released in 2017.
