The Mayor of Liverpool has hit back at critics of a grant scheme launched to encourage communities to engage with Eurovision.
Liverpool Council has launched the next part of its song contest engagement programme with the chance for communities to bring their own projects to life. Following on from EuroFest, the two-week cultural festival, and the education programme EuroLearn, EuroStreet will ensure that communities across the city can be a part of the continent wide event and its legacy.
EuroStreet will focus events on four areas including Festival of Europe, celebrating the culture and heritage of the Eurovision nations. Songs for Europe will feature live participatory performances touring residential care settings while food, music and crafts will feature at solidarity disco banquets.
