  • Small Scale Co-creation Action in Kavala, Greece

    How can municipalities be facilitators of local green transition? 💚 🌱 🏙 

    ".. There are no linear processes when municipalities function as facilitators instead of doers and co-create with local residents..." 

    Meet our partner IO CHATZIVARYTI from the Municipality of Kavala, who talks about the co-creation process of transforming an unused and unsafe park into a cozy meeting place for the local community's green activities and gatherings.

    The URBACT network COPE consists of 8 European municipalities, working to engage the local community in the green transition. 

    COPE has just held the third network meeting - this time we were in Kavala, Greece, where we learned more about how the Municipality of Kavala is working to engage the local community in the green transition. It was a very inspiring and educational trip for all partners. 💪
