The third edition of the festival of the New European Bauhaus will take place in Brussels on 9-13 June 2026. Organised by the European Commission, it will address the transformative power of democratic engagement in shaping more inclusive and sustainable communities.
The festival encompasses four key pillars:
– It is a forum, a platform for engaging discussions and the exchange of ideas
– It is a fair, a laboratory and an exhibition, highlighting projects and prototypes that align with and support the core values of the NEB
– It is a fest, a celebration that unites culture, art and conviviality, serving as a moment of collective rejoicing, honouring freedom of expression and embracing radical, innovative and disruptive ideas and visions
– There will also be satellite events and initiatives organised independently in Brussels and beyond
