The project GIBB gave the chance to students and all participants of the project to have experiences in different European countries about the maintenance and the building of houses with ecological materials. The Estonian and Turkish partner shared experiences about ecological building, their knowledge gave the theoretical and practical basis to the whole partnership. The Italian partner made a business plan for a supposed little ecological building enterprise, the plan was made by the students for getting an experience.
During the project the following topics were dealt with: solar panel systems, natural plasters (lime, clay) and paints, wooden roofs, houses of straw and clay, log houses, evaluating existing ecologically built buildings, etc.
The results of the project were: DVD that summarized the experiences of the partners; blog gibbblogtie.blogspot.com about all aspects of the project; business plan, concerning the startup and the management of a (simulated) company operating in the maintaining and repairing market for buldings that are built using only ecological materials and techniques; various learning activities during the meetings in Italy, Estonia and Turkey; the final conference where we summarized all the project's activities.
