Power to Renovation – A Question of Values

In the organizer's words:

Power to Renovation - A Question of Values

Film screening by HouseEurope! followed by a discussion

In English with English subtitles

HouseEurope! presents the film "Power to Renovation - A Question of Values", in which experts explain why buildings are demolished and rebuilt. They show the negative consequences of demolition and new construction - for our communities and neighborhoods, for our stories and identity as well as for ecology and economy.

Is there an alternative? Renovation and conversion are the best options to keep rents stable, preserve communities, protect histories, save energy and create a sustainable construction industry.

How can we achieve this? As EU citizens, we are not only consumers, but we can bring about change through direct democratic means, such as the European Citizens' Initiative. "Power to Renovation" is a call from HouseEurope! - the European Citizens' Initiative for Renovation and Conversion.

What is the climate impact ticket?

As PATHOS theater, we would like to take responsibility together with our audience for the climate impact costs of our operations, which are associated with the unavoidable emissions of our theater. The €2 or €4 surcharge on the ticket price goes 100% to the Climate Fair project, which is committed to promoting social and ecological transformation in Germany and here in Munich (e.g. by investing in green electricity systems and energy-saving projects).
