1 litre of used cooking oil can pollute up to 1,000,000 litres of water, affecting our lives more than we realize. But do you know that you could change this number if you recycle your used oil?

Asociaţia De-a Arhitectura is a community of built environment professionals and teachers shaping a better future through architecture education for children, youth and adults. Their programs foster creativity and innovation, and help children get ready for the real world.
Workshop description
What is a passive house? No, it's not a lazy house, but rather a home that achieves remarkable efficiency with minimal resources.
Would you like to know how your house can be heated by the sun or what it would be like to live in a green house? How about finding out what a diver and a passive house have in common? Come and see how your home can become sustainable.
At the workshops children will not only uncover the secrets of energy-efficient homes but also discover how everyday objects within a house can contribute to its warmth. The children, guided by De-a Arhitectura tutors, will embark on a special journey with a diver who will help them decipher the principles of the passive house concept. They'll develop observational skills, learn to analyze houses in their preferred geographical areas, as well as the influence of the seasons on the house and how it responds to the human need to keep them in optimal comfort.
