NEB-STAR FESTIVAL

Join the NEB-STAR Festival in Stavanger, a dynamic celebration of three years of experimentation with new partnership models and tools at the intersection of sustainability, aesthetics, and inclusivity.

Through talks, presentations and concrete examples, we’ll share what we’ve actually done, what we’ve learned – and what we recommend going forward.

At the core of the festival is the exploration of new ways of working together—across sectors, disciplines, and communities—to drive meaningful change. Through keynotes, discussions, and interactive formats, we will dive deeper into:

• Neighborhoods as Arenas for Development and Collaboration – How local environments can become dynamic testbeds for innovation, participation, and shared value creation.
• Aesthetics as a Driving Force for Development, Cooperation, and Communication – The role of design, art, and cultural expression in shaping better urban futures and fostering inclusive collaboration.
