Design Workshop - Application Form
Apply for this unique Design Workshop: Building Better Futures Together - Applying Circular Economy Principles.
This workshop offers you the chance to have your ideas implemented into the architecture and daily operations of 200 River Centers across Sub-Saharan Africa and is a unique networking, learning and collaboration opportunity.
Goal of the workshop:
Alongside the Copenhagen UN Youth Association and Oikos, we at the Global River Center invite you to a half-day workshop that explores the different ways Circular Economy principles can be implemented at our soon-to-be-built River Centers in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The workshop aims to bring together a multidisciplinary group to co-create solutions that can be brought to life in the design of our 200 River Centers.
We are especially interested in people from the following disciplines: architecture, engineering, economics, business development, design, energy, education, energy, art and culture.
The workshop will be led by Elizabeth Boye (CEO of Global River Center), Emma Noerbaek and Rebekka Kvalsund (Circular Economy experts) with input from Deborah Nartey (Footprints Africa), Chris Whyte (ACEN) and Morten Schmidt (GRCs Award Winning Architect).
Who can participate?
Students, professionals, professors and anyone in between. We believe creativity and great ideas flow well when people from different backgrounds come together, so no matter what academic, cultural or geographic background you may have, we welcome your ideas. Maybe you and your start-up have a specific circular solution? Or maybe you are just interested in learning more about circularity? Either way, you are encouraged to sign up. Given the importance of amplifying the voice and knowledge of you on the continent, we especially encourage the ones of you based in Sub-Saharan Africa to join us!
We kindly ask you to fill out this registration form if you are interested in actively attending the online workshop. After we receive your application, you will receive more details of the event along with guidelines and educational materials from Global River Center.
