Join the Ignite NEB Event in Spain: Prioritising the places and people that need it the most

Across Europe, many traditional markets have lost their role as vibrant neighbourhood meeting places. The aim of this event series is to support proposals that bring new life to one such location: San Vicente de Paúl market in Zaragoza, Spain. 

Throughout both online and in-person sessions, a panel of judges will evaluate ideas that restore the spirit of connection and emphasise the core NEB values of sustainability, beauty, and inclusion. The overarching goal is to transform the market into a lively, open and inspiring space that properly serves the community who give it meaning.

When

Online events on 9, 10, 16 and 17 October. In-person events on 20, 21 and 22 October.

Where

Mercado de San Vicente de Paúl, C. de San Vicente de Paúl, 22, 50004, and Etopia Centre for Art and Technology, Av. de la Cdad. de Soria, 8, 50003 (and online).

About the Ignite NEB Event Series

Launched in early 2021, the New European Bauhaus (NEB) is an EU-backed initiative that calls on all Europeans to imagine a new future for the continent – one that’s built on the principles of sustainability, inclusivity and beauty.

The initiative was announced as an innovative, participatory dimension to the European Green Deal and borrows from the original Bauhaus School, a radical German art school that was founded in 1919 and became famous for an approach that unified artistic vision with function.

The NEB takes a practical approach to discovering beautiful, sustainable, inclusive and affordable ways of living, and uses these innovations to inspire the way forward.

Along with our partners, EIT Digital, EIT Food, EIT Manufacturing and EIT Urban Mobility, we lead the EIT Community NEB, whose task it is to support on-the-ground projects that embody the values of the NEB movement. 

In the upcoming Ignite NEB series, we are working with organisations across four countries to bring about long-lasting change in local communities through championing entrepreneurship, renewal and creativity.

During a series of online and in-person events, participating teams will respond to local challenges set by each organisation, after which one winner per location will receive a grant of EUR 10 000 to turn their ideas into reality. Find out below how to take part in each Ignite NEB event.
