New European Bauhaus Festival 10 June
BEDA meets New European Bauhaus:
The first New European Bauhaus festival will be a hybrid event organized from 9 – 12 June by the European Commission in Brussels. As one of the first partners and advisors, BEDA is organizing on 10 June the BEDA meets New European Bauhaus program. We will jump virtually from two BEDA member festivals taking place in Barcelona and Saint Etienne to the live festival in Brussels.
The main activities will take place in Brussels, with parallel events throughout the EU and beyond.This festival brings together people from all walks of life to debate and shape our future:
A future that is sustainable, inclusive and beautiful. It’s a great opportunity to network, exchange and celebrate – from science to art, from design to politics, from architecture to technology.
