Good Practice Transfer

Introduction


The World Habitat Awards were established with the aim not only of identifying innovative and sustainable examples of housing practice but also of sharing and transferring the award-winning approaches where possible and appropriate. 

BSHF works to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and experience through a range of knowledge-sharing activities, including community exchange events and international study visits carried out each year to the World Habitat Award winning projects.

International Study Visits

An international study visit will be carried out from 7th - 13th November 2010 to the 'Caprichando a Morada' rural housing project in southern Brazil.
An international study visit took place from 6th - 11th June 2010 to the 'Building Partnerships to Eradicate Poverty' project of the Barka Foundation for Mutual Help, Poland.

Other Exchange Activities

BSHF is currently partnering with the basin-South Asia Regional Knowledge Platform to support the transfer of innovative housing solutions in the global South.
