Partners and friends explained

What do partners and friends do?

Partners commit to organising and friends offer support to several types of activities, for example:

  • discussing how diverse professions and disciplines can interpret and enrich the initiative during trans-disciplinary conversations, meetings, and conferences;
  • identifying, starting or sharing with the public projects, practices or concepts that enact the New European Bauhaus principles;
  • co-creating with citizens and institutions beautiful, sustainable, inclusive living experiences;
  • friends, in addition, are expected to host or sponsor NEBLab projects;
  • many more activities are possible as long as they are concrete and contribute to achieving the objectives of the New European Bauhaus.

Please note that the partners’ and friends’ commitments are not subject to financial support.

How to become a partner

1. Commitment to the initiative
In the initial part of the application, candidates confirm their commitment to the initiative.
2. Introducing the applying organisation
In the second step, candidates introduce the mission, values, experience, and goals of the organisation. This helps to assess the eligibility and to map the organisation to ease the matchmaking process if they are approved.
3. Explaining applicant’s activities
This step collects information on proposed tangible activities or projects with some elements of timing. The quality of the commitment is a major factor in the final assessment of the applications. The commitment should be compatible with the organisation's resources mentioned in step 2.
4. Candidate for host or sponsor
In this section, applicants express their interest in becoming hosts or sponsors. This is a first, easy way to learn how to structure one's own activities or projects. It is also a way to test solutions developed elsewhere. Finally, it is an opportunity to find synergies and establish long-lasting partnerships.
5. Public information
The organisation becomes a New European Bauhaus official partner if the application is successful. Its logo and commitment become public on the official website. A more detailed description of the organisation's activities becomes part of the dedicated platform, open to all members.
