The famous German school gave its name to the new European programme wanted by Ursula from the Leyen.
Five projects to involve artists, designers, students.
When they chose the name Bauhaus, they must have thought of young people. The art movement of the Weimar Democratic Republic of the 20s and 30s is not well known among young people. It marked a milestone in European culture but is little studied in schools. Today it gives its name to the new European project to fight climate change. The "New European Bauhaus” it is in fact, in chronological order, the latest program that aims to combine "design and sustainability in the new aesthetics of the European Green Deal".
The leaders of the Union were inspired by prestigious school German than before Nazism he created a fantastic relationship between technology, culture and art. A turning point with many intellectual and constructive nuances after the disasters of the First World War. Now that we are facing epochal changes, the European Commission has chosen to give more strength to its strategy with suggestive slogans. He thought of three central moments of a journey that will involve thousands of young people. It is indicative that the "Bauhaus" was presented directly by President Ursula von der Leyen. Tenacious German and determined not to fail on environmental issues, the President is therefore inspired by those admirable artists of the last century.
“We want to draw on the experience and commitment of designers, architects, artists, digital experts, scientists, engineers and students,” he told the European Parliament. He did un jump forward unexpected. He clarified how creativity and planning must enter into a long-term plan, so far disclosed only as an opportunity for macroeconomic development. It cannot be like this, as we know from the history of great civilizations and epochal turning points. Indeed, in the time of youth mobilizationi for a different future of the planet, it seemed strange that the creativity of such determined students did not enter the programs of climate change.Perhaps the placards in the squares and the colorful processions have not been well observed.
The program will be divided into five projects in different countries with the aim of attracting the interest of non-European countries as well. Let's also look beyond the borders of old Europe, because the peoples are facing a systemic change, was a comment. The “New European Bauhaus will demonstrate that what is necessary can also be beautiful and that good design can improve life” said the President. A warning for all the times we have forgotten.
