Real people, real stories: the challenges, the achievements, the solutions. The exhibition “ВМЕСТЕ” (“TOGETHER”) on the EU-Russia Cross-Border Cooperation programmes (CBC) will be launched on 21 September, both virtually and physically.
The faces and stories of EU-RUSSIA cooperation
- 21 September 2021

Behind programmes, financial figures, and projects there are real people and real stories: this is the aim of the travelling exhibition “BMECTE” (“TOGETHER”), which will give the opportunity to learn more about cross-border cooperation projects through the stories of project participants. As a new generation of CBC programmes is underway, it is time to show how the EU and the Russian Federation are capable and ready to collaborate in common areas and towards common interests across border territories.
The exhibition is launched online on the 21st of September. On the same day, it will be physically inaugurated in the public space near the City House of Culture of Petrozavodsk. On the 27th of September the exhibition will move to Kaliningrad (Museum of World Ocean), following which it will be presented in St. Petersburg State University of Economics (18/19 October) and Murmansk Park Square (15/16 November).
The four opening ceremonies will count with the participation of representatives from the EU Delegation to Russia, the CBC Member States’ Consulates and from the CBC Branch offices. Furthermore, the project beneficiaries and the project teams will be sharing their testimonies at the ceremony on how the cross-border cooperation projects are progressing on the ground.
Do not miss the chance to attend the exhibition, either physically or online, and learn more about the stories behind EU-RUSSIA cross-border cooperation programmes!
