Together with partners from Portugal, Austria and Northern Macedonia, BUM has started implementation of the Graffiti Art Takes the Street project. The project is funded with the support of the Erasmus + programe, and is coordinated by the “Agencia Nacional para a gestao do program Juventude em Accao”, Portugal.
The goal of the project is to create unique graffiti in several city locations in partner countries, with the aim of encouraging young and ambitious artists to create street art in the form of graffiti in order for graffiti to be recognized as art. We planned to disseminate important messages about the environment, climate change and ecology, as well as social activism of young people through art.
