We are making our debute at the New European Bauhaus Festival!
“First life, then spaces, then buildings.
The other way around never works.”
(Jan Gehl, Danish architect)
Buildings and common spaces should be designed around the people who live in them. That’s why we place communities at the heart of the 2026 Festival of the New European Bauhaus. The Festival creates a place to understand people’s needs and aspirations and showcase projects that successfully reflect them. In doing so, it demonstrates how an inclusive, sustainable and high-quality built environment can foster community, strengthen resilience and boost competitiveness.
Join us for the third edition of the Festival of the New European Bauhaus! For five days, communities, creators and changemakers will come together to celebrate creativity, explore innovative ideas and shape a more inclusive, sustainable and vibrant future.
The biennial Festival showcases the best practices of the New European Bauhaus, the European Commission initiative that brings the clean transition to our built environments and improves everyday life for everyone. It aims to inspire communities to reimagine spaces, design better living environments and drive sustainability and inclusivity.
The 2026 edition of the NEB Festival will focus on Democratic Engagement, showing how citizens can be involved in shaping their communities, and on Affordable Housing, the foundation for strong, inclusive societies.
Talkaoke is The People Speak’s flagship television-style talk show. It’s up to the participants to decide on the topics of conversation. Each chat is a journey from one unexpected subject to another. It can be topical, funny, deep, surreal, or something else. The participants generate the subjects and the host in the middle keeps everybody engaged. The format is simple: the host sits in the middle of an illuminated round table, and you sit around the outside and talk about whatever comes up. Just grab the microphone and air your views.
We will be popping up at the iconic Parc Du Cinquantenaire
New European Bauhaus Festival takes place from 9 to 13 June in Brussels. Expect a programme of a wide range of sessions, activities and exchanges bringing together policymakers, creatives, researchers and citizens. Participants can join discussions, workshops and interactive experiences designed to inspire new ideas and collaborations.
The New European Bauhaus brings innovation, ambition and creativity together. It calls on all Europeans to imagine and build a sustainable and inclusive future that is beautiful for our eyes, minds, and souls. The New European Bauhaus is a creative and transdisciplinary movement in the making!
