Project Photos Let's start arose during previous meetings and projects implemented by partners. Knowledge development of European youth and its integration using a theme related to the art of photography is the main goal of our project. We are passionate about art, however, when it comes to the art of photography, we would like to increase our knowledge through practical, non-formal methods.
