NEB Stewardship Lab Launch - 7th February 2023

Argument: 
7 February 2023 from 2:00pm to 3:30pm
NEB Stewarsdship Lab

As Europe and the world are facing existential threats of climate change where social and ecological systems are disrupted - urgent actions are needed. Answering these challenges requires swift and decisive action on multiple levels from local to global. The New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative provides an enabling context for this transition by calling people to imagine and build together a future based on values of sustainability, inclusion and aesthetics

 

In this context the new community led NEB Lab project, NEB Stewardship Lab, seeks to enhance and clarify the role of higher education to support the needed societal transition. The project will further co-develop the model of NEB Stewardship, which combines the NEB values to three stewardship dimensions: knowledge, agency and care. This combination draws the attention to capacities needed for effective individual and collective actions pursuing sustainability. At the same time, the NEB values describe the aspired characteristics of both the development process and its outcomes. 

 

The NEB Stewardship Lab is a joint effort of Metropolia University of Applied Sciences (Finland), University of Turin (Italy), IADE - Universidade Europeia (Portugal), NABA - Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (Italy), Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (Netherlands), Cyprus Institute (Cyprus) and Green Growth Generation (Italy). The group of coordinators stands behind the common goal of nurturing the transition from climate anxiety to NEB stewardship and thus, motivating for actions that contribute to positive change. 

 

 

The launch event of NEB Stewardship Lab will take place online on 7th February 2023 from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. CET. 

 

Simultaneously, the lab is kicking off a broad "Call to action" inventory study where the coordinators are collecting and discovering the ideas, existing examples and potential identified on the NEB Stewardship in the participating HEIs. This will be followed with workshops to co-define the model further and to identify the actions needed. Towards the end of the year there will be practical local actions where the co-defined model will be tested in practice.
