Birmingham Bauhaus Bites action plan
We are part of the prestigious Bauhaus Bites programme, a three-year, 2024-2027, EU-funded Horizon Europe initiative that’s reimagining food as a tool for urban renewal and social connection.
Birmingham is leading innovative work that celebrates our city’s rich cultural diversity, empowers communities, and promotes sustainable living.

The programme
Rooted in the values of the New European Bauhaus, beautiful, sustainable, and inclusive, Bauhaus Bites is all about co-creation.
The programme will focus on East Birmingham, where partners will work together to create healthier, greener, and more connected food environments by:
- mapping community assets, such as growing spaces and kitchens
- launching a grassroots fund to strengthen local spaces
- supporting projects that celebrate cultural heritage
- ensuring every action is shaped by East Birmingham residents
Together, the partnership will develop a culturally diverse crop database, explore land use strategies that support nature-based solutions, create a food system literacy framework, and co-produce creative food education through the arts.
Our shared goal is to make East Birmingham’s food system inclusive, resilient, and rooted in community pride. Birmingham’s innovations will be captured in the Bauhaus Bites playbook, a toolkit of tested methods and practical guidance for other cities across Europe.
Bauhaus Bites is more than a food programme; it’s about transforming places, empowering people, and building a legacy of wellbeing.
