Sustainable Living: Professional Approaches to Housework |
|
Housework is a dirty word in more ways than one when the work of the home should be valued as a

| Report on the second day of the international conference
Sustainable Living: Professional Approaches to Housework |
|
A sustainable society is made up of individuals with basic human needs that need to be met.
For most people 'home' is a place that recalls happy memories and feelings of warmth, acceptance, comfort and care. It is also a place where these basic human needs are met in a way that respects their human dignity and enables them to develop to their full potential, be it socially or professionally. During day two of the Sustainable Living: Professional Approaches to Housework international conference speakers and panellists drew from their different realms of professional and academic expertise to explore the important role the homemaker plays in social sustainability.

| Second Conference Report: From House to Home |
|
Second International Conference in the Excellence in the Home Series, organised by the Home Renaissance Foundation |
| ‘Home’ is a difficult concept to define. The richness of the home is reflected in the many facets attributed to it, and it is perhaps the unique and ambitious mission of the Home Renaissance Foundation to explore all these facets. At last November’s Home Renaissance Foundation international conference, From House to Home, architects and urbanists, as well as experts in the fields of economy, sociology, business management – and even a museum director – gathered to answer the question, ‘What makes a house a home?’ |
