AGORAX

Project idea

There are some places who have lost their charm because of stress people experienced there. There are also many beautiful moments and relationships who disappeared because of lack of time. If we give people place and reason where they can stop for a while and enjoy nice moment based on sharing with another people, we can restore the beauty together. Let´s fill the places with stories again!
