Life Habitat Congress

  Date:
 Type: Congress
 Line of Knowledge: 
 Location: Valladolid

Our well-being is also affected by the environment, both indoors and outdoors, and by our connection to nature. The buildings in which we live and work, as well as the environments in which we move, affect our health, well-being, ability to work, creativity and social skills. It is therefore essential that professionals in the housing and social and health care sectors listen to each other, engage in an enriching dialogue, an exchange of visions and knowledge that focuses on what matters most: people.
