The Impact of Common Space on Neighbourhood Communities (user-friendly)

This call for proposals aims to explore how common spaces (such as parks, plazas, and community centers) affect the people who live in and around them. We want to understand how these spaces can be designed and used to build stronger, more inclusive communities.

What We're Looking For

We want to fund projects that will study common spaces in at least three European countries. These projects should collect data and gather evidence to help us understand how common spaces affect community cohesion, social interactions, and people's sense of belonging.

Expected Outcomes

We hope that the projects we fund will help us achieve the following outcomes: • A better understanding of how common spaces affect people's behavior, health, and sense of community • Improved capacity for stakeholders to design and manage common spaces that meet the needs of local communities

Scope

One of the core values of the New European Bauhaus is inclusion. We believe that common spaces can play a key role in building inclusive communities by providing safe, accessible, and attractive environments for people to gather and interact.

How to Apply

If you're interested in applying for this call, here are some key things to keep in mind: • Your project should study common spaces in at least three European countries • Your project should collect data and gather evidence to help us understand how common spaces affect community cohesion and social interactions • Your project should provide recommendations for stakeholders on how to design and manage common spaces that meet the needs of local communities

Approach

We're looking for projects that take a participatory and transdisciplinary approach. This means that your project should involve a range of stakeholders, including local communities, policymakers, and experts from different fields. We also want to see projects that incorporate social sciences and humanities (SSH) disciplines and expertise.

Dissemination

If your project is selected for funding, we expect you to share your findings and results with the New European Bauhaus hub for results and impact. This will help us to disseminate your findings to a wider audience and to build on the knowledge and expertise that you've developed.
