#NEF The New European Bauhaus: Principles and Discussion - Second Workshop on Sustainable Construction

  On Wednesday, March 27, a seminar on sustainable construction was held. This is already the second such meeting, the first was held on March 20, at which cases of sustainable construction, which are implemented in Frankivsk by local teams, were discussed.

      At the second meeting, attention was focused on new European urban trends that can be implemented in Ukraine. Valentina Shulimborska, the operational director of the urbanist coalition Ro3kvit, who is one of the partners of the NEB (New European Bauhaus) initiative and the curator of the community capacity development program, was invited to the meeting.

     What is NEB?

The New European Bauhaus (NEB) is a multinational initiative of the European Commission that aims to build a future based on the principles of aesthetics, sustainability and inclusiveness:

• NEB's goal is to combine sustainability, aesthetics and inclusiveness in urban and design projects.
• The NEB aims to promote an integrated approach to design, integrating environmental, social and cultural aspects.
• The initiative supports collaboration between architects, designers, artists, scientists and citizens to create innovative solutions to societal challenges that are convenient and relevant for all visitors.
• The initiative highlights the importance of human-centred design with a focus on improving the quality of life for all Europeans and seeks to support local communities and regions in their transition to a more sustainable and sustainable future.

        Overall, the New European Bauhaus aims to rethink the way we live, work and interact with our environment, promoting a more harmonious relationship between people and the environment.

        Valentina also shared the implemented projects and challenges that arose in the process. You can find out more on the website of the Ro3kvit coalition: Urban Coalition for Ukraine.

        After the speech of the speaker, there was a discussion with questions, reflections and dialogue. We are glad that it was possible to gather architects, representatives of construction companies and interested guests in one place. Thank you for your activity!
