Driving the future of sustainable transport 

The EcoMobility, FREEMOBILITY, and ECO 2 MOBILITY campaigns are environmental education initiatives by ECOCITY, aiming to raise awareness about sustainable mobility and environmental protection. The campaigns are implemented annually across Greece, targeting high school students with a focus on ecological transport, citizens’ rights, and improving urban quality of life. With the support of over forty scientific institutions and NGOs, these initiatives have become central to fostering social responsibility among young people. 

Empowering youth through creative solutions
EcoMobility engages students in identifying local transport issues, such as traffic congestion and pollution. They collaborate to develop creative solutions, often using theatre, songs, or models to present their findings. This hands-on approach encourages critical thinking about mobility problems and inspires a generation of young people to be active participants in shaping greener, more sustainable cities. 

Collaboration for community impact 
The campaigns are highly collaborative, bringing together local municipalities, NGOs, and citizens. Students present their work at special events where they interact with local authorities and media, spreading the message of sustainable mobility. This collective effort creates a platform for dialogue on improving urban environments and promoting green transport solutions for all. 

Nationwide reach, local solutions 
Since 2003, EcoMobility has reached students across Greece, empowering them to research and address local transport challenges. This voluntary initiative culminates in public events where students present their proposals, contributing to the ongoing conversation on improving urban mobility. Through these efforts, the campaign has sparked meaningful change in attitudes towards sustainable transport in Greek cities.
