Green Cafe
Yesterday the SOPOLEC team organized the second Green Meeting. This was actually a “Green Cafe” because we applied the “World Cafe” method for discussion, debating and analyzing ideas about “What can be done to encourage green construction in Romania?”. The event was a really good experience from (at least) two points of view:
1. It was very interactive because of the “World Cafe” method;
2. Our participants came from many different types of organizations that are connected with the constructions sector - public authorities, private sector, NGO’s and construction associations. We gathered representatives from MDLPL, MMDD, PSC, Viitor Plus, Sphera Building Center, Baneasa Investments , BSS, Rompolykem, Metroul, Gardiner&
Theobald, Modern CM.
The event was fun and interactive; we exchanged a lot of ideas and met new interesting people. We were pleased to know that there are a lot of people interested in the subject and willing to move things forward. Special thanks to all the people who attended and looking forward to collaborate in the future.
More info will come on the conclusions of the discussion and the opportunities identified.

Pictures from the event can be found here. Of course, many suggestions were raised for the upcoming Environmental Roadmap document for Romania, and it is so exciting to see that comments from our events are reaching policy-makers and being both considered and incorporated into policy. The outcome of our event, however, is not just a set of suggestions, but a document that we can send to policy-makers and representatives from involved Ministries, addressing numerous issues altogether in a cohesive way. The goal is to join with others to make a long-term difference for our community and for our quality of life. As Clarisa pointed out, there are a number of issues we focused on which are unique, but when combined form a set of issues for sustainable development. A few include: [...]
