From 9 to 13 June 2026, Brussels will host the third edition of the Festival of the New European Bauhaus - five days dedicated to ideas, creativity, and collaboration. The Festival brings together sustainability, good design, and inclusion, turning the vision of the European Green Deal into concrete actions with real impact on communities.
More than just an event, the Festival is a space for transformation, where visionaries, creators, and communities come together to rethink the way we live. Its structure is built around four main pillars:
- Forum – a platform for engaging discussions and idea exchange about the New European Bauhaus.
- Fair – a project showcase and laboratory, presenting innovative solutions and prototypes that reflect the values of the New European Bauhaus. It is a space for meeting, learning, and collaboration, where ideas come to life.
- Fest – a celebration of artistic and cultural expression. Through music, theatre, dance, and participatory art, artists will bring creativity to the heart of the Festival.
- Satellite Events – initiatives that extend the spirit of the Festival beyond Brussels. These events can be organised anywhere in Europe or beyond, during the Festival week. Organisers will benefit from visibility through the Festival’s online platform, interactive map, and the possibility of live streaming or featuring recorded sessions.
