Sollar is inviting INTA’s international network to its 35th anniversary, on 21-22 September 2014, in Lyon, as opening of the annual Congress of the Federation of Social housing associations. (Union Sociale pour l’Habitat).
The issue that will be debated: social innovation in social housing.
INTA is mobilizing members and partners from USA, Canada, UK and the Netherlands to exchange experiences.
Issues are increasing housing needs, aging and impoverishment of the population, changing lifestyles and family structures, energy transition to be integrated into housing... are some of the challenges housing societies and corporations have to face.
The international forum jointly organized by Sollar and INTA will draw lessons of experiences of social housing organizations from the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, The Netherlands and France on intergenerational solidarity, active management of neighbourhoods and eco-responsibility.
Ambitions of the Forum
Because social housing must constantly anticipate changes of its environment and of the personal situation of its tenants, it is important to share best practices, beyond the national territory.
That is why Sollar has wished to gather, on the occasion of its 35th anniversary and in collaboration with INTA, professionals from different countries to discuss the theme of innovation in social housing.
Roundtables gathering housing experts, elected officials and partners throughout the day are opportunities of international feedback and interaction with the audience, punctuated by moments of conviviality.
A good occasion to take a global view on a particularly relevant topic in this period of economic and social crisis, and to anticipate a major cultural shift.
