Municipality of Grevena in the context of European Mobility Week (16-22 September 2015) organized some events in order to promote sustainable mobility and to contribute into shaping environmental ethos in citizens. The basic concept was an one week program composed of actions that launch a change of behavior through: 1) sustainable transport (bicycle, walking, trekking), 2) general information about safety conditions regarding the previous modes, 3) equal access of citizens in urban center, 4) development of empathy on the mobility of disabled and elderly people and 5) highlighting environmental aspects of the new enlarged municipality Grevena (Kallikratis program).
The goal was to sensitize everybody in matters of mobility and to produce an urban civilization in order to become cities more clean, quiet, safe and in general a pleasant place for its citizens.
