New European Bauhaus

Use the Toolbox

The New European Bauhaus Toolbox is a collection of tools that can be used for planning and designing New European Bauhaus projects.

The NEB Toolbox is most effective when used at the beginning of your project. It helps with co-design through practical tools, workshops, and good examples of how to implement New European Bauhaus values effectively.

It serves as a comprehensive resource for public and private authorities and other project owners, enabling them to kickstart transformative actions. By using this toolkit for your initiative, you can join a pan-European movement of sustainable, inclusive, and beautiful projects.

To integrate the New European Bauhaus framework into your project, you can refer to three phases described in the document:

  1. Identification
  2. Exploration
  3. Refinement

The NEB Toolbox offers diverse workshops for each of them.

While the tools are assigned to specific phases, there still is a lot of flexibility in framing the process. The same tools can support various values and working principles. Thus, they serve as practical instruments to shape your ideas and transform them into tangible outcomes, such as mature projects, action plans, roadmaps, or investments.

The NEB Toolbox was developed in the framework of the Support to the New European Bauhaus Local Initiatives, which, in 2023, provided technical assistance to 20 small and medium-sized municipalities, supported by the European Regional Development Fund.

For a deeper understanding of how values, working principles, and associated ambitions influence the transformation process, we encourage you to explore our NEB COMPASS. This guidance framework helps decision-makers and project planners apply New European Bauhaus principles and criteria to their activities.
