All European citizens are called to join in and help co-design a project to connect the European Green Deal to our living spaces and rethink the way we live together. The idea is to find beautiful, sustainable and inclusive solutions for our living spaces, so together we can build a better future for everyone, and for our planet.

Orla is an Irish architect and lecturer whose work focuses on collaborative ways of designing and advocating for rural towns. She sees the New European Bauhaus as “a hopeful and positive means to harness design, in its broadest and most inclusive sense, to deliver the objectives of the European Green Deal, and to decarbonise Europe”.

The New European Bauhaus already counts over 200 partners from all EU countries, a high-level roundtable of 18 experts including designers, innovators, activists and academics, as well as thousands of citizens. As co-leaders of this design phase, the JRC has collected more than 2,000 examples and ideas.
