NEBULA aims to follow and foster the New European Bauhaus (NEB) ideas promoted by the EC, focusing on a new model of business and territorial regeneration based on sustainability, accessibility, aesthetics and inclusion.

This project wants to push young citizens to see both rural/urban local areas under a new light, to revitalise and use them to create socio-economic value.
NEBULA wants to cast a broader effect, stimulating local culture awareness, by networking with local actors like cultural associations, NGOs, municipalities, SMEs, encouraging youth to be more participative towards public life and sustainable entrepreneurship, and by offering opportunities for youth participation in “social and civic engagement through non-formal learning activities”.

NEBULA will also raise awareness on “understanding the EU context”, “the common EU values” and “the principles of unity and diversity”, not just through the NEB initiative but also involving an Ukrainian partner in the consortium.
