BERLIN AND ITS EUROPEAN PARTNERS

EMOP Berlin is a member of the European Month of Photography (EMOP), a European joint project that includes the photography festivals in different European Citys. Back in 2003, on the initiative of Berlin’s partner city Paris, the idea was born to form a European network of photography festivals.

The goal of the joint project is to foster cooperation on a European level, to strengthen the international photography scene, to intensify the exchange of information and experience, emphasize the interplay between teaching and learning, and support young artists.
