Then EuCaSa gives you a chance to let your images speak for you! EuCaSa is Brussels based not-for-profit and non-governmental organization, working towards achieving longterm and sustainable peaceful solutions to potential and ongoing conflicts in the Caucasus region.

They aim to have an impact on the behaviors of individuals, especially young generations, as well as to help build the conditions needed for lasting peace and democracy. Our proximity to the EU institutions in Brussels provides us with a first hand opportunity to engage EU policy makers who share a common goal with us in ensuring a sustainable peace throughout the Caucasus region. Motto of the European Caucasus House: Home is a place where people feel free, safe and tolerated in spite of different religion, cultural, sexual background. The European Caucasian House aims to be the safe-hold for those seeking more democratic, peaceful and tolerant societies.
