June 11–12 turns Bethlen (Bethlen) into more than a venue: it becomes a think tank for how urban cultural spaces can be greener, more welcoming, and more alive. Meet at Bethlen! – New European Bauhaus Festival draws visitors closer to Erzsébetváros’s (Elizabeth Town’s) past and future through art programs, community-building, city stories, and professional discussions.
Workshops With a Point
Hands-on sessions tackle sustainable operations, from reusing materials to low-energy staging, while opening doors to people who rarely feel invited. Organizers promise practical takeaways: how to cut waste without killing creativity, and how to design spaces where every voice belongs.
City Stories, Lived and Told
Urban walks and storytelling map how the district has changed—and why it matters. Artists and locals co-create pieces that echo courtyard life, hidden passages, and the pulse of the neighborhood, drawing lines between memory and next steps.
From Talk to Action
Roundtables bring cultural workers, residents, and experts to the same table. The bet: collaboration can turn cultural hubs into engines of inclusion and sustainability, with ideas tested on the spot and ready to spread.
