Three parks in Brașov would be equipped with musical instruments

“Today we launched the tender for the implementation of the participatory budgeting project . The idea of ​​this project, according to the initiator, starts from the desire to have the greatest possible variety of common spaces for urban recreation, which would invite the people of Brasov to spend as much time as possible outdoors. In three parks in Brașov we will set up outdoor musical instruments, which will encourage creative expression and socialization with family, friends or other residents of the city. Anyone can play at them, from children, teenagers, parents, grandparents to professional musicians – the entire Brasov community”, said Allen Coliban, the mayor of Brasov.
