The living room is a place for creative meetings of refugees, local creators and young people who, between April and October 2017, created handicrafts together in classrooms, workshops, cafes, kitchens and gardens. The products combine the diversity of personal creative expression of individuals, the wealth of local cultural heritage, various techniques and ways of working. In the process of creation,  personal contacts, new acquaintances and collaborations have developed, which continue even beyond this layout. The living room tells that refugees bring skills, knowledge and talent  which are best activated in connection with local creators. Come in, the door to the Living Room is wide open, it will be richer with you.
