Descrizione dell'iniziativa
TheCONCRETOPassion in Action initiative is part of a project bringing together 13 partners from 5 EU countries to promote thegreenrehabilitation of European concrete architecture.Inspired by the Renaissance idea of theArtist's ShoporLa Bottega, the CONCRETO alliance will work together on a learner-centred,innovative apprenticeship programme, where students and professionals will acquire and practice skills on real-life examples. The CONCRETO Partners recognise the lack of specialist skills available and the need to develop guidelines and standards for the quality regeneration and maintenance of our modern concrete buildings. From here, the innovative idea of creating a cross-sectoral knowledge flow, promoting best practices byfostering a new skill setto better equip professionals to become the experts of tomorrow.
CONCRETO envisions synchronous as well as asynchronous interaction with the participants, which will include a group comprised of students of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), learners from Vocational Education Training (VET) organizations, and professionals selected by the National Trade Associations of 3 countries. CONCRETO is defined as learner-centred, engaging and based on real life experience carried out in theArtist shop for concrete architecture and its rehabilitation methods.
This year, CONCRETO will bring together28 learners and more than 10 teachersfrom Italy, Spain and Turkeyto participate, after anintroductory online meeting, in a10-day workshop(in-class lectures & hands-on practice) hosted at the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, and a 2-week field activity at the UNESCO site in Ivrea (Italy), where the students will carry out maintenance and regeneration activities on selected buildings, contributing to their green sustainability.
The theoretical and practical knowledge will focus on 5 skill pillars: 1) concrete assessment and investigation; 2) concrete repair - traditional repair and electrochemical repair; 3) surface treatment; 4) concrete retrofitting and improvement of energy performance; 5) monitoring, maintenance and site management.
Supported by the Erasmus+ Alliances for Innovation program, each selected PoliMI student will be entitled to a contribution for travel, subsistence, and accommodation expenses incurred during the activities in Madrid and Ivrea. The maximum contribution is ? 2,600.00 per student and will be reimbursed, after each event and upon submission of appropriate supporting documents, in the form of a mission expenses refund.
The activity entails the recognition of 6 surplus CFU (not recognized as mandatory credits included in the study plan) and will be mentioned in the Diploma Supplement issued with the Graduation Certificate.
