Exhibition Lens on Ethics

On June 13, 2025, in the scenic village of Międzybrodzie Bialskie, a unique photography exhibition took place as the highlight of an international youth exchange organized under the Erasmus+ project „Lens on Ethics – creating a better online world and photography with values.”

The exhibition showcased works created by participants from various European countries who explored the themes of ethics in photography and social media, practiced self-presentation, developed skills in building a conscious online presence, and deepened their understanding of each other’s cultural heritage.

This artistic display served as a response to the challenges of the digital era. It emphasized the importance of responsible content creation, the value of diversity, and the power of photography as a tool for cultural expression and social reflection. The photographs documented not only project activities and creative exploration but also the emotions and values that emerged through intercultural collaboration.

The exhibition was open to the local community, offering a space for dialogue about the role of young people in shaping an ethical digital environment. It was accompanied by a street survey where youth engaged residents in conversations about their views on content shared online.
