Living together in (camera) focus

Do you have a particularly committed neighbour? Is there a playground in your neighbourhood that is a popular meeting place for parents and children alike? Does your neighbourhood meeting place offer something that you are a regular at? Take your camera with you and show other people what makes your neighbourhood lovable and worth living in, and where coexistence between generations and cultures is particularly successful!
