FrauenForum Hilden - Focus on sustainable home ownership

The FrauenForum - Fokus nachhaltiges Wohneigentum offers an inspiring and protected space in which women can exchange ideas about sustainable climate protection in residential buildings and learn from each other. All women are welcome. Previous knowledge of building renovation is not required.

There can be many reasons for thinking about your own home: changing life circumstances, generational change or simply the desire to do something for a sustainable future. But where to start, given the wealth of wishes and offers? The forum aims to show participants what opportunities and potential obstacles there are in the sustainable and climate-friendly design of home ownership.

We encourage Hilden women from all walks of life to come together to share ideas and experiences. Network with each other and find like-minded people.
