Faces of the Neighbourhood Travelling across EU cooperation with its Southern and Eastern Neighbours

Voyage travers la coopration europenne avec ses voisins du sud et de lest

Telling the story of a Partnership Faces of the Neighbourhood illustrates concrete activities that derive from a major EU external relations policy, the European Neighbourhood Policy. Travelling though themes and space, the exhibition showcases examples of cooperation in sectors as different as youth, migration, research or environment, across all the countries of the region. These are just a few among the thousands of EU-funded projects in the 16 neighbouring countries.
