NEB Junction: Connecting Communities to Shape Sustainable Futures

Empowering diverse voices to co-create solutions aligned with the New European Bauhaus values of sustainability, inclusiveness, and beauty.

The NEB Junction is a collaborative initiative designed to foster community engagement and democratic innovation across Europe. It aims to connect citizens, public authorities, and industry stakeholders through digital tools, tailored learning journeys, and participatory assemblies. By aligning with the principles of the New European Bauhaus (NEB), the project seeks to inspire sustainable, inclusive, and aesthetically pleasing solutions for societal challenges.

Why It Matters

NEB Junction addresses the pressing need to include diverse voices in shaping Europe’s future, particularly those traditionally excluded from decision-making processes. By promoting local engagement and transnational collaboration, the project ensures that NEB principles translate into actionable strategies that are relevant, equitable, and impactful for communities across Europe.

Objectives

The goals of the Nets4Dem project are:

• Foster inclusive participation in the New European Bauhaus initiative.
• Equip local connectors with tools to engage their communities in NEB-related activities.
• Develop a digital portal for knowledge sharing and collaboration.
• Host multi-stakeholder assemblies to validate and co-create solutions.
• Promote sustainable, inclusive, and innovative practices at local and European levels.

How It Works

NEB Junction will be implemented through a multi-phase approach:

1. Phase 1: Visioning & Anchoring – Train local connectors and set up the foundational digital infrastructure for collaboration.
2. Phase 2: Building Experiential Knowledge – Organize challenge-based events and gather insights from stakeholders to validate tools and methodologies.
3. Phase 3: Long-Term Sustainability – Consolidate knowledge, refine tools, and prepare for the broader adoption of NEB values.

Key activities include sprint-training sessions, reflection workshops, and stakeholder assemblies to align efforts with the NEB mission.
