Communes Ungheni and Dumesti underwent an artistic and civic regeneration from September 20th to 25thand September 27th to October 2nd 2020 The young people encountered in the communities impressed us with their determination and desire to do good in the community where they live.
The activities carried out within the project respond to the needs of rural areas residents; we all know that rural areas are largely deprived of infrastructure and cultural opportunities. We believe it is necessary for everyone to benefit from the same opportunities for a harmonious development.
Funder: Iasi County Council

Artists Luu and Vladude have painted a mural in colors that urge us to dream and believe in ourselves, all happening in Ungheni. OhBoy has shown us one of the best graffiti pieces demonstrating that graffiti is not just vandalism but also an artistic manifesto.

The project through the participants’ lens::
Through the Caravan, young people have developed artistic skills and abilities by engaging in non-formal education activities that highlight their potential. They have also understood that change starts with them and that they can develop the community they live in with simple ideas, actions, and events.
