Conversations that change our world.

The New European Bauhaus opened its activities by proposing a series of conversations on the places we inhabit and on our relationship with natural environments, beyond the built space. It was an attempt to discover beautiful, sustainable and inclusive ways of living and to use them to inspire our way forward.

During this design phase, we have collected almost two thousand examples, ideas and challenges. Individuals and institutions submitted more than two hundred papers and essays, and many conversations were organised locally across Europe and beyond. All the material is now available here to allow you to connect with the organisers and to make sense of what came up.

The Co-design phase of the New European Bauhaus initiative ended on 30 June. However, the conversation about the New European Bauhaus will not stop. It will restart in September to feed a place & purpose based community to support local efforts in making the New European Bauhaus a truly transformative process. If you are interested in joining, please consider applying to become an official partner of the New European Bauhaus or make sure you start connecting with our official Partners based on your interest, your locations and your competences.
