Cleaner Cities, Shared Responsibility: From EU Policies to Everyday Action

Who shapes the future of our cities – European institutions, local authorities or the people who live in them? How can we turn Europe’s environmental ambitions into meaningful local action?

Starting with the European perspective, an EU policy expert will explore the goals and strategies shaping how we prevent waste, use resources and reduce our environmental impact. Partners from Bulgaria, Greece and Italy will bring the discussion closer to home, sharing local experiences and examining the gap between policy and practice.

What makes a city sustainable, and who gets a say in how it develops? How can young people and diverse communities influence environmental decisions? Through an interactive quiz, small-group discussions and an exchange of experiences, we will explore our habits, question existing approaches and develop practical ideas for greener, more inclusive cities.
