Since the start of the war in Ukraine, the creative sector and NEB partners have actively helped with the emergency situation. As a first step, a high-level group of roundtable members and partners organised the 'Paper Partition System’ rollout—a concept by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban.

Beyond its values and principles, the role of the New European Bauhaus could be one of connecting ongoing initiatives. By using the strength and collective intelligence of the network, providing content and guidance to the continuing work of colleagues (e.g., rebuilding taskforce), and connecting needs with available support. Short-term emergency solutions must be connected to long-term reconstruction and development objectives to avoid wasting money and energy.

In such a context, the NEB provides a framework aligned with EU policies, connecting sustainability, social inclusion, and cultural challenges well recognised by the Ukrainian partners. Learn more about the three pilot activities and project's milestone on the link below.
