New European Bauhaus for Youth Centers (NEBYC) is an Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership (KA220-YOU) involving five European organisations.
Its goal is to innovate the role of youth centers within local communities by applying the principles of the New European Bauhaus: Inclusion, Beauty, Sustainability.
The project turns these values into concrete actions, offering youth centers the tools, skills, and resources to become places for participation, culture, and ecological transition.
Strengthen the skills and role of youth workers, improving the quality and recognition of youth work.
Transform youth centers into sustainable and innovative spaces, aligned with NEB criteria.
Foster youth participation, co-creation, and community engagement.
Support the implementation of innovative projects developed by youth centers.
Establish the NEBYC Network, a stable platform for collaboration, exchange, and advocacy.
A structured capacity-building programme for youth workers and youth center coordinators covering:
NEB principles
participatory approaches
sustainable and regenerative design
cultural and social innovation
transdisciplinary methodologies
Each youth center will take part in a co-creation process aimed at:
identifying needs and opportunities
imagining NEB-inspired solutions
developing an innovative project idea
Selected proposals will move on to the implementation phase.
At least 15 youth center projects will receive financial support and professional mentoring to turn their ideas into concrete interventions within their spaces.
The project will deliver:
open-access training modules
a replicable Hackathon methodology
a European network of NEB-aligned youth centers for long-term sustainability and exchange
