IRTA 2021 - Kaarwan

Kaarwan offers community learning opportunities for architects and other professionals to work with communities, often in remote areas, to share skills and learn about building techniques not covered in the formal curriculum. One of their referees wrote: “It amazed me how Kaarwan made travelling to a remote earthquake-hit village with no electricity or internet to learn & build earthquake-resilient structures from the local communities so much fun. We didn’t just learn how to build a resilient structure; we learnt how resilient communities are built.” When Covid-19 struck, they successfully pivoted to offer the same learning opportunities online and helped local communities earn from it.
