The European Commission - representations in Ljubljana and Milan - in collaboration with the Municipality of Nova Gorica and XCenter (Mladinski center) invite you to the "New European Bauhaus in the border area" event.

The event will be held on 22 June from 10:00 to 13:00 in hybrid mode and will include thematic workshops.

The event will allow the representatives of numerous sectors of the border area of ​​the cities of Nova Gorica and Gorizia, which in 2025 will carry the prestigious title of European Capital of Culture, to exchange good practices, to reflect on how to implement the new European Bauhaus in a very specific local context and to think about the contribution of the Gorizia area to the pan-European initiative.

The New European Bauhaus is an interdisciplinary initiative of the European Commission that offers opportunities for collaboration between the world of business, science, and the creative sectors. The first phase of the initiative, which will conclude at the end of the month, aims to develop ideas, the result of a joint reflection by a wide range of stakeholders.

Don't miss the chance to help bring the New European Bauhaus to life. You will be able to identify the challenges that the initiative should consider and propose new original solutions. Become part of the New European Bauhaus movement!
