The Co-Design aspect of ‘The New European Bauhaus proposes to focus our conversations on the places we inhabit and on our relationship with natural environments, beyond the built space. It is a practical approach to discover beautiful, sustainable and inclusive ways of living and to use them to inspire our way forward.’

BIDs Belgium is excited with the potential scenarios that are possible with the New European Bauhaus. We thrive on the aspect of connecting and collaborating with multi-stakeholders and a variety of sectors. Engaging in events and initiatives to further stimulate the discussion around the possibilities of co-designing together. Combining some of methodologies we use for approaching projects, from futures, speculative design and design strategy amongst others. The experimentation aspect of what can be born out inter and multi-disciplinary collaborations, internationally and locally. This is the approach that we already deep dive into with our projects and are open to share. Continually posing questions on some of the challenges we face in our diverse, multicultural society and encouraging debate and pilot cases. With the core elements of taking the inclusive, human/empathetic approach.

‘What if?… How to?…’
