The Makeathon promotes collaboration between local and European actors who share the same goal: solving urgent societal challenges and promoting progress and change.

The challenges focus on four areas:

A Makeathon is an interactive event in which participants work together to develop creative solutions within a specific timeframe. The main goal of our Makeathon is to showcase the innovative capacity of both the European Alliance and the individual participating universities and cities, while encouraging the development and implementation of ideas that contribute to a better future.

The first exhibition on the subject of “Bauhaus and National Socialism” illustrates the diverse ways in which artists dealt with a totalitarian system of rule.

The Klassik Stiftung Weimar’s annual exhibition is the first to publicly address the topic of “Bauhaus and National Socialism”. The show presents around 450 art and design objects from private collections and renowned museums in Europe and the USA at three locations in Weimar. The works illustrate the complex political history of the Bauhaus up to its closure in 1933 and show the extremely varied lives of Bauhaus members under National Socialism.
