Institute of World Policy with support of the International Fund “Vidrodzennia” organised on September, 6 Street Eurouniversity in Kryvyi Rih – the exhibition of caricatures which illustrate benefits of European integration for Ukraine.The exhibition “There is a better side of Europe” was opened by a lecture given by Oleksiy Haran, professor of National University of “Kyiv-Mohyla Academy”. Expert said that agreements on free trade areas with a few countries are normal practice in developed states. Furthermore Oleksiy Haran stressed that after signing of the Association Agreement Ukraine’s small and medium-sized business will adapt European law and principles faster.
Guests who visited our exhibition had an opportunity to discuss their questions regarding European integration with IWP experts – Alyona Getmanchuk, IWP Director, and Serhiy Solodkyy, IWP first deputy Director.
Street Eurouniversities were previously presented in other Ukrainian cities: Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk, Vinnytsia, Chernihiv, Nizhyn, Poltava, Sumy, and Konotop. Caricatures presented within this project illustrate two realities in around twenty social, economic, and political spheres of everyday life in Ukraine and in EU states. Caricatures were made by famous Ukrainian artists – Maryna Turovska, Kostyantyn Kazanchev, Ihor Bezhuk and Oleksiy Kustovskyy. Pictures were ordered by the IWP.
Street Eurouniversity is a metaphorical title for public events, which aim is to support open discussion between civil society leaders and experts with ordinary citizens. Within this project we organise a series of exhibitions of caricatures which illustrate the most vital challenges of Eurointegration and are described by relevant comments.
