Short description <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUS-GoCircular was an EU-funded project that addressed the skills gap in circular construction. It developed a practical qualification framework focused on multifunctional green roofs, facades and interior elements, linking tasks to learning outcomes and competencies. The project used train-the-trainer methods to upskill professionals across Europe and engaged stakeholders\u2014companies, homeowners and local authorities\u2014 to promote circular green procurement and recognition of circular construction skills. Its goal was to strengthen both supply and demand for circular construction practices and support the wider adoption of sustainable building methods. The project also fostered regional collaboration by adapting training programmes to local contexts and building capacity within local and national training institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Architects\u00b4 Council of Europe\u2019s involvement <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Architects\u2019 Council of Europe (ACE) played a pivotal role in the BUS-GoCircular project, leading its dissemination and communication efforts. This included coordinating the project website, establishing its visual identity and producing key materials such as brochures, banners, newsletters, and managing social media channels. ACE also contributed to the mentorship programme and the development of the training package at the European level. Additionally, ACE organised and participated in events like the \u201cTrain the Trainers\u201d sessions, enhancing the capacity of professionals across Europe to implement circular construction practices. Through these initiatives, ACE ensured the widespread dissemination of knowledge and resources, fostering a collaborative approach to upskilling the construction workforce in line with circular economy principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project results <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BUS-GoCircular project developed and implemented a circular construction skills qualification framework, focusing on multifunctional green roofs, facades, and interior elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project partners also developed materials on the introduction of the circular economy<\/a>, circular design strategies<\/a>, reuse of building materials<\/a>, the European policy framework<\/a> most related to the built environment, and how to procure circular construction skills<\/a>. Training packages<\/a> were also developed in Dutch, Bulgarian, Czech, Spanish, Hungarian, Croatian and English to upskill SME\u2019s on circularity have also been produced. Articles and reports from the project can be found in the Zenodo repository<\/a>. Videos and training materials can be found on the YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
