Facade Camp in Hungary in 2025

The event aims to revitalize the facades of 3-4 traditional village houses in a 5-day event, improving their appearance and preserving cultural heritage by applying traditional building methods. Teams of 4-5 people will work on each facade, with preparatory tasks such as planning, organizing construction, and material procurement handled in advance. The event will take place in a different village each year, creating a traveling festival that fosters regional engagement. Daily activities include collaborative work on the facades from 8:00-12:00 and 14:00-18:00, followed by evening social events such as singing, lectures, and team-building games. Meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) will be shared at a community location in the village, promoting a sense of connection among participants. Participants will receive guidance from mentors if needed, ensuring that even teams with limited professional experience can contribute effectively. The event will not only enhance the aesthetic and structural quality of the buildings but also promote craftsmanship and sustainable building practices, contributing to both the preservation of local identities and the broader awareness of eco-friendly construction methods. https://www.szalmaepitok.hu/visegrad-fund/

Rountable “Moldova & Ukraine: Challenges of EU Enlargement “

This roundtable discussion will take place in Moldova in order to facilitate a localised view of the situation from within the Associated Trio, as well as to extend the project outreach among Eastern European society. The hybrid event will develop the network of think tankers and experts across the region and will facilitate the exchange of knowledge and development of solutions. Experts will build on the findings from the Danube Conference and the roundtable in Serbia, giving insights into the Moldovan and Ukrainian perspectives and developing ways in which these challenges can be tackled with support from the V4. Especially as Ukraine and Moldova share borders with the V4 and the EU, the necessity of finding mutually agreeable compromises will be addressed. https://www.idm.at/central-europe-and-future-eu-enlargement/
