This project is part of the approved Sustainable Urban Development Strategy (SBAA) of the Thessaloniki Metropolitan Unit and aims to raise public awareness on volunteering and environmental protection issues and to activate it to take initiatives in this direction within the framework of the Local Decentralised Waste Management Plan (TSADA) of the Municipality of Thessaloniki. The active participation of citizens and a civil society which is informed and mature to co-decide in this direction is a very important aspect which ensures the successful implementation of the relevant actions. The key to the active participation of citizens is the continuous and organised awareness campaigns and the formation of a common environmental commitment of citizens, self-governing, social, ecological groups, productive sectors and scientific and academic bodies of the city that will aim to encourage social initiatives for the implementation of the actions of the Municipality of Thessaloniki. The main objective of the project is to disseminate information on the improvement of the urban environment, while broadening the level of awareness among the citizens. In order to achieve this objective, the following actions shall be implemented: 1. Information and awareness campaigns for citizens with the aim of cultivating and further enhancing their environmental awareness. 2. Events (seminars, briefings, workshops, festivals, etc.) on volunteering issues and environmental protection. 3. Designing voluntary actions for the environment at local level. 4. Supply of promotional material for “Recycling in the Municipality”, such as graphics, prints, prints, posters, banners, brochures, invitations, TV spots etc.
