Archinfo is the New European Bauhaus contact point in Finland
The New European Bauhaus initiative connects the European Green Deal to our daily lives and living spaces. It calls on all Europeans to imagine and build together a sustainable and inclusive future that is beautiful for our eyes, minds, and souls.
The New European Bauhaus (NEB) is a creative and interdisciplinary initiative that connects the European Green Deal to our living spaces and experiences. Launched by President Ursula von der Leyen in 2020 and adopted by the European Commission in 2021, the NEB was established to foster the cultural dimension of the European Green Deal by promoting the power of a collective movement to redefine our daily lives – whether in architecture, public spaces, fashion, or bio-based products.
NEB empowers citizens and communities to lead in advancing the green transition within their local areas. Having grown into a dynamic movement with an expanding community spanning all EU Member States and beyond, NEB aims to create a sustainable lifestyle that combines excellent design with low carbon use, inclusivity, and affordability while celebrating Europe’s cultural heritage.
In the spirit of the historic Bauhaus a century ago, NEB has evolved into a driving force for society’s ecological reconstruction while also fostering social inclusion.
Archinfo is the national contact point of NEB in Finland
As Finland's national contact point for the New European Bauhaus initiative, Archinfo participates in an informal EU-wide network coordinated by the European Commission for exchange of experience. The most important mission for the contact point is to spread information nationally about e.g. funding possibilities, dissemination and outreach. The Ministry of the Environment, the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment take part in coordinating the initiative.
