On 18 May 2021, the first of nine meetings of the series of talks "What would Gropius do a century later?" took place within the framework of the New European Bauhaus. In this first meeting Conexiones improbables brought together seven organisations from six different countries. Each of the representatives of the organisations, from their areas or fields of work, answered questions such as "what role do you understand cross-fertilisation strategies to have in your field" or "what specific role do you see for the creative dimensions in your field in the New European Bauhaus?”. This was followed by a dialogue and reflection on the question that gives the cycle its name "What would Gropius do a century later?”.
