The Institute of World Policy with support of International Fund “Vidrodzhennia” on 29-30 August presented in Sumy and Konotop the exhibition “Street Eurouniversity” – a number of caricatures which illustrate benefits of European integration for Ukraine.The exhibition “There is a better side of Europe” was opened by a lecture about European integration given by Pavel Buchek, Deputy Ambassador of the Czech Republic. Czech diplomat said that it is important to challenge societal apathy and prepare for further changes. He also confirmed readiness of the EU to support democratic changes in Ukraine: “If Ukraine wants to change, we are ready to help”.
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 and Vinnytsia. 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, Konstantyn Kalachevych, 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.
