For the first time, professionals of the construction sector and Universities from 8 European countries analyse together the crafts and trades already or potentially using earth as a building material, with the aim to develop:

  • a common-core syllabus for earthbuilding activities in traditional crafts and trades;
  • a European-wide earth building matrix of ECVET units with assessment criteria, for EQF levels 3 to 6, and compatible with ECTS, both for earth bricks masonry and monolithic earth walls, available in 8 languages;
  • guidelines for the process of certi!cation in each participating country, and with quali!cation already launched at least in 3 countries (FR, DE, UK), with due respect to ECVET principles and quality standards.
