EU-funded project hired five artists to brighten the walls of a wastewater treatment plant in North Macedonia The wastewater treatment plant in the southeast town of Strumica is not only the first facility of that kind built in North Macedonia with IPA funds, to the huge benefit of local population and the environment. This facility is also a pioneer in advertising its purpose and in promoting public awareness of the need to protect the nature together with art. CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEOColourful murals, painted by five artists on the walls of the facility, explain what it does and how important it is to keep the environment clean. The murals also beautify the usually dull architecture of the industrial buildings. They make the facility more eye-catching, especially for children, and invite them to learn more about the importance of water. It was not by chance that children were the predominant audience at the inauguration of the murals, organised as part of the EU-funded project entitled 'Art and water – the magic of life'.
