From May to June, the Saxon State Ministry of Justice and for Democracy, Europe and Equality and the City of Chemnitz, with the support of the Chemnitz State Office for Schools and Education, organised a competition for young people between the ages of 14 and 18 who live in the Chemnitz cultural region. The competition was looking for ideas on how to harmonise ecological, economic and cultural aspects with sustainability and accessibility.

The competition is part of the European Commission's creative interdisciplinary initiative "New European Bauhaus". The Commission is calling on all Europeans to engage in dialogue to develop and realise shared ideas for a sustainable, inclusive, intellectually and emotionally appealing future.
