One Borderless Vision: Celebrating 20 years of the EU’s eastern cooperation

An interactive exhibition marking 20 years of cross-border cooperation at the eastern borders of the EU, showcasing the most impactful projects and stories implemented under all Romania’s cross-border programmes. Coordinated under the ROFRONT platform, which unites all Regional Offices for Cross-border Cooperation (BRCTs) from Romania, the exhibition will highlight the evolution, challenges and achievements of European territorial cooperation at the EU’s external borders. Through project showcases, visual storytelling and interactive materials, we will celebrate two decades of cohesion, solidarity and shared European values.
