New European Bauhaus

Launched in 2021 by the European Commission, New European Bauhaus (NEB) is a creative and interdisciplinary initiative whose aim is to turn the European Green Deal into a cultural and sensitive project . NEB is a policy and funding initiative that makes green transition in built environments enjoyable, attractive and convenient for all. Even the smallest communities on the ground deserve living spaces that improve their well-being and sense of belonging. The initiative promotes solutions that are not only sustainable, but also inclusive and beautiful, while respecting the diversity of places, traditions, and cultures in Europe and beyond.  

The New European Bauhaus works by : 

• engaging people at a grassroots level, focusing on neighbourhoods  
• providing tools and guidance   
• offering tailor-made solutions for different communities  
• incorporating the views of various stakeholders into the process of design and implementation  
• prioritising people and social inclusion but also the economy to boost competitiveness and EU strategic autonomy

 

As the Policy contact point for the Wallonia-Brussels Federation and Wallonia, the Architecture Unit disseminates the various activities of this vast movement.
