Description: To connect with the New European Bauhaus Community and participate in the development of the NEB Initiative. The New European Bauhaus is an initiative from the European Commission to connect with the EU citizens in a period of post-pandemic and push values of Beautiful, Sustainable, Together. I first joined the team for a five-month traineeship, then I continued working as an interimaire until the end of December 2023. To explain this project further, you can watch this presentation I made during the Climate Care Academy. My role was to act as a community manager & facilitator towards the NEB Community. Every other week, we had to onboard new Partners and run co-creative workshops with the Community to decide on the trajectory of the Initiative. My role was to make sure that there was a good understanding between the Unit and the Community. As one of the few designers in the team, I shared my values and methods to influence on the trajectory of the initiative. Notably on the idea of keeping a bottom-up strategy.
During the New European Bauhaus Festival, I suggested creating an artwork that would represent some of the NEB values: participation, co-creation, inclusion, beautiful, diversity. The goal was to collect words from the public and draw them into this artwork.New European Bauhaus
