Freedom not only is the element of this place but also is fundamental to any creative activities. Freedom is also the key to understanding identity and history without both of which one could not imagine contemporary Europe.

Culture of Freedom...

How do we function, how do we create, what enchants us when we live free? Daily life in 21th century Europe.
