	ECOWEEK 2013: Special events
	> ECOWEEK EXHIBITION 'JOINING GREEN SPIRIT WITH MATTER' During March 2013, NGO ECOWEEK will hold a four (4) week exhibition titled Joining Green Spirit with Matter, at the ZEZEZE Architecture Gallery at the Tel Aviv port. With the support of ETEM SA. The exhibition is a new concept that combines 'green' proposals with 'green' techologies, services and products. The 'green' proposals include ECOWEEK projects in Israel, West Bank, Italy, Poland, and Serbia. The projects include proposals of 'green' urban planning, public interventions, new buildings, 'green' upgrade of existing buildlings, projects of 'green' design, small scale hands-on interventions in parks and schools, and more. The exhibition combines a DESIGN ASPECT: panels with architectural proposals, a BUSSINESS ASPECT: materials, samples, product catalogues and fliers, B2B meetings and corporate presentations (depending on demand, the exhibition may also include a business exhibition with booths, at an adjacent location), and a CULTURAL ASPECT: public events free and open to the public. The exhibition will also host two (2) ECOWEEK Workshops during ECOWEEK 2013, assigned to design 'green' proposals for real sites in Tel Aviv. The exhibition, cultural event, and workshops will be open to the public. Similar exhibitions are planned also in Greece, Denmark, Turkey and elsewhere. More
