Every revolution carries a song or hymn, a symbol of its values, hopes, and collective spirit. CrAFt, as a transformative initiative under the New European Bauhaus, embodies inclusiveness, aesthetics, and sustainability in the pursuit of climate-neutral cities, the cities of the future. Therefore, we also need a song!
Creating Actionable Futures (lyrics)
In the heart of cities, where the future unfolds,
CrAFt brings together, stories yet untold.
From Amsterdam’s canals to Prague’s ancient streets,
Bologna’s charm where innovation meets.
Oh, CrAFt, weaving dreams in urban tapestry,
Where jazz meets the skyline, in harmony.
From Climate City Contracts to governance anew,
Inclusiveness and beauty, sustainability too.
In Sandbox Cities, where ideas take flight,
Testing and sharing under the open sky’s light.
Collaborative models, a canvas so vast,
In NEB’s embrace, the future is cast.
Engaging the arts, academia’s might,
Students and thinkers, a symphony’s height.
From hackathons buzzing to STEAM teams’ embrace,
Crafting our cities with style and grace.
Oh, CrAFt, weaving dreams in urban tapestry,
Where jazz meets the skyline, in harmony.
From Climate City Contracts to governance anew,
Inclusiveness and beauty, sustainability too.
Across 70 cities, a community’s bond,
Building capacity, from dusk until dawn.
Mutual learning, a shared journey’s art,
Towards climate neutrality, a beat in each heart.
So join in the chorus, let the story unfold,
Of cities transformed, their futures retold.
With CrAFt as our guide, together we’ll rise,
To a future where jazz sings ‘neath clear blue skies.
