Recently, I had the opportunity to participate in the Experts Speaking event as part of the SKYRTHALIA project in Thessaloniki. Each volunteer focused on analyzing a specific park, examining its strengths and weaknesses, proposing solutions to improve the current ecological situation, and conducting surveys with local residents to understand their perspectives on park conditions.
The event was held on Thursday, 12th December 2024, evening hour, at the Green Executive Club and was also accessible via Zoom and a live broadcast on YouTube, ensuring broader participation. The parks presented during the event included the Garden of Roses, Garden of Sound, Park with Statue of Ivan, Park of Nations, Karatasou Park, Botanic Pathway,and Remembrance Park.
We were honored to have representatives from the local community and the President of E local Community of the Thessaloniki Municipality as well as member of the B Community Board of Thessaloniki Municipality joined us. This experience was not only insightful but also deeply inspiring, highlighting the importance of community involvement in sustainable urban development.
I am truly grateful for the chance to contribute to this initiative and hope our findings and suggestions will encourage positive change in Thessaloniki's green spaces.
