MERITA PLATFORM AT NEW EUROPEAN BAUHAUS FESTIVAL 2026

Concerts | February 2, 2026

On June 12th, the MERITA platform will take part in a European meeting in Brussels bringing together coordinators of networks, platforms, orchestras and sectoral actions active in the musical and cultural fields, such as Music Moves Europe and PerformEurope, which support cooperation, mobility and the development of the music sector at a European level.

The meeting represents an important opportunity for dialogue among organisations operating in different contexts and fields, offering a dedicated space for the exchange of experiences, the sharing of practices and the strengthening of dialogue between projects.

The meeting is part of the programme of the third edition of the New European Bauhaus Festival, organised by the European Commission in Brussels from 9th to 13th June 2026. The Festival is a biennial event that brings together institutions, professionals, cultural organisations and citizens to take stock of the New European Bauhaus journey— the European initiative aimed at translating the objectives of the Green Deal and the Clean Industrial Deal into concrete actions capable of improving everyday life.

The 2026 edition places particular emphasis on the role of democratic participation in building more inclusive and sustainable communities, exploring the active contribution of citizens and local authorities in transforming living environments. Key themes also include accessibility and sustainable housing, understood as essential elements in rethinking the spaces in which we live.
