“Architecture for International Sustainable Development” is the title under which an international Erasmus Staff Week for teaching is organized in the Higher Tecnical School of Architecture of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). This event has brought together from 11 to 15 April 2016 experts from various European universities to discuss and work around development aid and architecture along with local agents and students. This week is a complement to an Educational Innovation Project (PIE ) that has been developed in different courses and subjects of the architecture degree since 2014 The aim is to value the education of students in a global world where cultures and people interact and architecture itself can be a facilitator or disruptor of the relatioships depending on how it is conceived. The Erasmus Week has been the setting for sharing what has been developed in classrooms with lecturers from other countries and to learn from the experiences carried out in other universities. Throughout the week , lecturers, local staff and agents and students have discussed about the relationship between architecture and sustainable development aid . To this end, the following thematic area have been worked out: the city, the architectural construction and intercultural relations . Different ways of working were developed: a keynote presentation by Alejandra Boni , an expert in development aid, who contextualized the work done during the week ; presentations by lecturers from other European countries who explained their own research , professional and teaching experiences; roundtables with European speakers and agents of local institutions and organizations; and a workshop with students in which a project related to the topics discussed in the presentations and the roundtables was proposed .
