Freiraum Tandem Carlisle-Thessaloniki
Countering Isolation

The Freiraum project is a grassroots movement that aims to build bridges. In 42 cities, Goethe-Instituts and their partners from culture and civil society are addressing questions about Europe.

The focus is on discussions with the residents of both cities.
