Impressions:
citizens were attracted by the event and glad that someone came to their city to discuss and present what EU is actually doing for them they had the chance to get an answer to their concerns and learn about other projects in their city as well, which made them happy Since projects are under construction, they seemed more impressive in photos rather than in real life They wanted more information and even another event later on with updated information about the EU projects
