S2E1 - How Could We? Use art to help Ukrainians fleeing the war to integrate

Welcome to Season 2 of How Could We?, a podcast by EIT Climate-KIC where we explore how to build a beautiful, just and climate-resilient future.

This season, we’re exploring how architecture, design, innovation, science, and art can help build sustainable solutions to the climate emergency. We talk to people across Europe who work on the New European Bauhaus, a creative and interdisciplinary initiative that encourages us to imagine and build together a sustainable and inclusive future.

In this episode, we speak to Anabella Costache, a cultural project manager at the FABER Cultural Centre in Timișoara, Romania, about the CONNECT project. CONNECT is one of the 14 projects selected as part of the EIT Community New European Bauhaus initiative. The project helps integrate Ukrainian people, particularly women, fleeing the war into the development of the city through artistic gatherings and sharing of history.

This episode was presented by ⁠Anne-Sophie Garrigou⁠ and produced by ⁠Bárbara Mendes-Jorge⁠.

Look out for upcoming episodes in our New Bauhaus series, Season 2.
