Within the scope of this years European week, we were able to display the present and future significance of cultural exchange and cooperation with Europes partners in Russia, the Ukraine and Belarus. During our events we succeeded in raising awarness and interesting lots of people in the subject, regardless of the current difficult and gridlocked situation of conflict.Our series of events consisting of a panel discussions, a radio show, a reading, an artistic presentation, a concert and a final photo exhibition (view program here!) allowed us to adress topics of cultural exchange with our eastern partners in a sensible and at the same time creative manner. In doing so, we opened up a conversation between our speakers and the approximately 600 guests. The cultural context of these events increased the accessibility of the subject and generated a relaxed atmosphere for our visitors, while at the same time granting us with enough space for an exchange of ideas. We’d like to say many thanks to all the parties involved for there contribution!
