Genre of photography that can be understood as the product of an artistic interaction between a photographer and an urban public space with EU fundings.
Street or urban photographer’s images are not intended to illustrate a new story. Instead, their primary goal is expressive and communicates a subjective impression of the Eu fundings in their region.
#EUinMyRegion could be an interesting activity for those students who are enjoying summer holidays or to those students who preparing their exams. During a breack and going, a good relaxing activity.
