From a multidisciplinary perspective, it will feature various activities organized into five weekly blocks, such as conferences, panels, discussions, PechaKuchas, workshops, and remote actions.

The "Housing Dialogues" are conceived as biweekly conversations designed to explore specific topics related to habitat production and management in depth and in a relaxed setting.

"Housing and Participation" will explore different ways in which communities participate in the design, construction, and management of their habitat in both rural and urban settings. It will reflect on the means available to each population, ranging from access to government and institutional support to the material and human resources required for construction.
The discussion will also address the role of architects providing technical assistance, as well as their level of responsibility in self-construction processes.
