Social Media Expert Junior

The New European Bauhaus (NEB), launched in 2021 by President von der Leyen, is a key European Commission (EC) policy and funding initiative. It connects the European Green Deal to our daily lives, aiming to make living spaces more sustainable, inclusive, and beautiful. The NEB remains a high priority for the European Commission.

External communication is central to the NEB Unit's work. We use our established channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, YouTube, website, newsletters, and media relations) to showcase NEB projects, inform stakeholders about funding, announce milestone events (e.g., the annual NEB Prizes, the bi-annual NEB Festival), and convey political messages from EC leadership.
