International Study Visit to Ecomaterials in Social Housing Projects, Cuba 2nd - 8th November 2008

	Dear Colleague
	The Building and Social Housing Foundation is organising a six-day study visit to the above project, winner of the 2007 World Habitat Award.

What is 'Ecomaterials in Social Housing Projects'?

	This project has developed and transferred a range of innovative and environmentally sustainable building materials which can be manufactured locally in small workshops, thereby reducing energy and transportation costs and creating employment. Access to low-cost credit ensures that the materials are affordable and over 5,000 homes have been built or improved to date in Cuba. The technologies developed by CIDEM have also been transferred worldwide, with ecomaterials workshops operational in many Latin American countries as well as in Mozambique, Namibia and Nigeria.  Find out more

Purpose of the visit

	The purpose of the visit is to provide an in-depth understanding of the practical techniques, training methods and project management approaches used in the project. Intensive site visits will form a major part of the study visit, providing an opportunity to study all aspects of the project and to meet those responsible for its success.
