The New European Bauhaus Collective (NEBC) invites you to participate
in its online conference 'Common Ground: Making the Renovation Wave a Cultural Project’ on 29 April 2021 from 10 am to 4pm
CEST.
The event will aim to explore culture as a key driver of quality in the built
environment. It will be an opportunity to debate how a holistic approach that considers and seeks to optimise drivers of sustainability,
beauty and inclusiveness can contribute to design and achieve better living spaces, for the common good.
The
conference will be opened by European Commission President, Ursula von der LEYEN, followed by keynotes speeches by Lionel
DEVLIEGER, project leader at Rotor and Stine Marie JACOBSEN, a conceptual artist.
The
New European Bauhaus reflects an ambition that is shared by many citizens and decision-makers, namely to make our built and
living spaces more sustainable, beautiful and inclusive. A round table will bring together representatives from cities to
discuss how local public authorities can translate this shared ambition into concrete initiatives and projects.
A
key part of the programme will consist of 11 break-out sessions (see descriptions below) during which conference participants
will be invited to discuss and express views on specific issues and challenges relating to the New European Bauhaus: education,
quality, bio-sourced materials, sustainability, research, mobility, heritage, to name but a few. Outcomes of the debate will
feed into the ongoing co-creation phase of the NEB initiative.
