The EFP training center, in Brussels-capital, has presented a sustainable, evolutionary and removable training module, in the framework of the BRIC project (Build Reversible In Conception).
BRIC is a pilot project of the BAMB program (European Buildings as Banks), whose objective is designing buildings optimizing the materials from a circular economy perspective, points out the Foundation for the Circular Economy.
The project also provides a place to train in the practices of the trades and understand diverse issues, for example, how construction workers they can handle construction waste, how to handle a low-energy heating, ventilation and lighting system and how to make furniture using recycled materials; a place, in Brussels capital, destined to establish, in the training of apprentices and entrepreneurs, actions to integrate the concept of the circular economy in the construction sector in order to develop these professions.
This program is a pedagogical tool intended to sensitize apprentices and future entrepreneurs in the circular economy. The EFP training center has mobilized around 250 young people for its construction, mainly in the construction sectors but also in other related sectors such as, for example, the sale of real estate and insurance.
The sponsor of the BRIC project, Jean-Pascal van Ypersele, doctor of physical sciences, climatologist and full professor at the Catholic University of Louvain (UCL), emphasizes the importance of reducing CO2 emissions using renewable energies and considers that "recycling of the professions", through this type of training, is an important bet for environmental progress.
