The festival of the New European Bauhaus

The Festival of the New European Bauhaus is a biennial event that invites people to a diverse programme comprising four types of activities: 

  • the Forum discussing various New European Bauhaus topics, 
  • the Fair showcasing projects, 
  • the Fest for a cultural celebration, and 
  • Satellite events organised independently around Europe and beyond. 

The second edition of the Festival took place in the Parc du Cinquantenaire/Jubelpark and the Art & History Museum in Brussels from 9 to 13 April 2024.

The Festival illustrated how diverse creators, organisations and projects use the New European Bauhaus (NEB) resources to put the European Green Deal into action, with the active engagement of the NEB community. 

It also served as an opportunity to take stock of the NEB's progress since its inception three years earlier. Various panel discussions explored the role of citizens participation, place-based policies and innovation in driving local transformation. They delved into the potential of nature-based solutions to enhance urban life quality and to mitigate climate change impacts on cities, or architecture's role in climate action.  

For the first time, the Festival focused on how the NEB advances sustainability within the European fashion industry, aligning with the objectives of the EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles. In particular, on 11 April, as part of the Forum, visitors were invited to a special day dedicated to sustainable fashion, featuring a catwalk. 

NEB Academy was launched during the Festival and NEB Prizes were awarded on the last day of the event as an anticipated culmination.
