The third edition of the New European Bauhaus (NEB) Festival will take place from 9 to 13 June 2026 in Brussels, Belgium. A biennial event driven by the European Commission’s initiative to embed the clean transition into our built environments, the NEB Festival unites communities, creators and changemakers around creativity, sustainability and inclusion. The 2026 edition centres on two defining themes: Democratic Engagement, exploring how citizens can actively shape their communities, and Affordable Housing, as the foundation for strong and inclusive societies.
PULSE-ART is one of ten Horizon Europe-funded projects participating in the NEB Festival as part of the NEBULE cluster, a collective bringing together social sciences, humanities, arts, technology, and the cultural and creative industries. The ten projects are: ALPHABETICA, Art of Darkness, CONVIVIUM, HeritACT, Make-a-Thek, PACESETTERS, PALIMPSEST, PULSE-ART, STARTUP, and TOWCHED.
NEBULE will be present in the Fair section of the Festival, sharing conceptual insights, operational learnings, achievements and results around a shared agenda: exploring co-creation as one of the core operational principles. Co-creation is explored through multiple lenses: as a methodological framework, a field of practices, a condition for inclusion, a mode of knowledge co-production, an experimental learning process, a form of democratic engagement, a human-centred design principle, an infrastructure for transformative action, a pathway toward sustainability transitions, and a means of unlocking the collective value of culture and creativity.
You can find NEBULE at stand 18, at the far back on the left-hand side of the Cour Carrée when entering the venue. Stop by to meet the team, discover our work, exchange ideas, and explore how we can connect and collaborate.
