Light Festival is a part of PubLiCity project, which is funded by the European Union within EU4Energy initiative. Project is being implemented by Polack District Executive Committee and Interakcia Foundation. As a result of project, public lighting will be modernized on 16 Polack streets.

The EU4Energy Initiative covers all EU support to improve energy supply, security and connectivity, as well as to promote energy efficiency and the use of renewables in the Eastern Partner countries Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. It does this by financing projects and programmes that help to reform energy markets and to reduce national energy dependence and consumption. Over the longer term, this makes energy supply more reliable, transparent and affordable, thus reducing energy poverty and energy bills for both citizens and the private sector.More information on: www.EU4Energy.eu.
