Newsletter – 30 July 2025: Safe Travels, Lasting Impact — Green Velocity Crosses the Finish Line

Ilana, Kaly, Timea and Emina salute us from the SKG Airport!

As the sun rose over Thessaloniki this morning, suitcases rolled, hugs were exchanged, and memories packed tightly alongside travel documents. Today marked the official departure day of our Green Velocity: Crash the Habit journey — and what a journey it has been!

We’re happy to share that all departures were successfully completed and participants have safely arrived back home, carrying not only their luggage but also the stories, friendships, skills, and experiences that this program has gifted them.

Throughout the day, messages flooded our group chats:

✈ “Landed safely, already missing everyone.”

🚆 “Thank you for everything. This wasn’t just a project — it was a turning point.”

🌍 “Back home, but my heart is still in Thessaloniki.”

Despite the inevitable goodbyes, this final day reminded us that the essence of Green Velocity was never limited to physical presence. The networks we’ve built, the videos we’ve shared, the Manifesto we co-created, and the commitment we all carry to safer, greener, and more responsible transportation — these live on.

💡 Comment of the Day:"We arrived as individuals. We leave as ambassadors of change."

🎯 Success Highlight: The final coordination notes have been archived, Youthpasses delivered, and project outcomes already beginning to spread beyond borders.

This is not the end. It’s the continuation of a ripple effect we started together.

Stay safe, stay inspired, and let’s keep the Green Velocity alive in everything we do.
