Inspiration. Collaboration. Action.
We warmly invite you to the inaugural NEB Stockholm Fest, an event inspired by the New European Bauhaus Festival in Brussels.
Our goal is to create a yearly meeting point for those who wish to explore and apply the New European Bauhaus principles in Stockholm, as well as forge relationships, learn from other projects, or even kick-start new ones with likeminded institutions.
This first edition will take place at Frihamnstorget, a co-created outdoor container village serving as a platform to Blivande, Frihamnens Kulturförening, businesses and cultural actors working with participatory urban development, sustainability, and cultural innovation.
Program Overview
Together
📢 PART 1: Professional Exchange
14:00-16:30 // Welcome & Introduction
We’ll begin by introducing the Local Chapter and why we’re gathering, followed by a presentation of NEB-aligned projects across Europe that show how collaboration and creativity can shape better places.
Following this, we will have a panel on complexity, bringing together voices from multiple sectors to unpack challenges and opportunities in transformative work. We will end with a practical workshop where participants apply NEB principles to their own contexts and imagine what’s possible when we act with together in new ways.
16:30-17:30 // Professional Mingle & Site Tour
Further meet other professionals engaged and interested in NEB. Get a guided tour of the space if you haven’t been at Blivande/Frihamnstorget before (start at 17:15). Food & drinks provided.
