Great setting
\n<\/strong>The International Danube Festival created a grand setting for the exhibition and the following networking of presenters and guests.\u00a0\u201cThe exhibition gave my motivation to promote gender equality a great boost\u201d, a visitor of the exhibition said. \u201cNow I’ll feel truly supported when asking for fairer recognition of women\u2019s achievements in our city.\u201d One of the many outcomes of the project \u201cDanube Women City Guide\u201d will be an online exchange of engaged citizens regarding experiences and strategies in requesting more female street names in their cities.<\/span><\/p>\n
