Industry webinars hosted by the Kilkenny-based Design & Crafts Council Ireland (DCCI) are taking place to explore how Ireland can benefit from a landmark new initiative that will shape the future of Europe.
The New European Bauhaus project by the European Commission is a cultural movement that aims to make Europe carbon neutral by 2050 and to renovate 35 million buildings across the continent by 2030. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has described New European Bauhaus as a movement to act as “a bridge between the world of science and technology and the world of art and culture”. The project seeks to create a European Green Deal aesthetic combining innovative design with sustainability under the motto that “the necessary can also be beautiful”.
