The art storytelling festival emphasised the diversity of European creativity. The digitalised works of the winners of the BVR jugend creativ competition were presented in Werkbank32 and shown on a video wall to make art in urban space visible. Contributions and artworks by partners from Estonia and other countries were digitally integrated. Live streaming reached an international audience and turned the celebration into an intercultural meeting place.
