VOLTARO

Although there are many good practices in urban mobility and other environmental issues that could easily be adopted in the everyday life, most of the citizens are not aware of them. The daily routine does not allow time for many to seek information on their own. So, the idea of Voltaro event is to provide to citizens information about good practices in urban mobility and other environmental issues while they take their walk on the coast of Thessaloniki on a Sunday with their families, where people are more relaxed and usually more receptive of information. At the Voltaro event in various interactive workshops, citizens are informed about good practices of sustainable urban mobility in cities and also raising their awareness on environmental issues, recycling, and circular economy. Citizens can "Voltaro" between electrically powered e-bikes fully controlled by a smartphone, electric bikes on three wheels, electric skates, electric cars and their charging stations, enter a portable cockpit and learn the way to go as we drive, learn about the modern uses of unmanned drones, as well as many other state-of-the-art technological developments that can make daily activities in cities more environmentally friendly. Citizens are also informed about the range of recyclable materials, ways to do recycling right, new self-managed recyclables collection structures and some of the hundreds of useful products coming from waste recycling.
