Target group(s): The community of the city, the neighborhood, the students and parents of the 7th Primary School as well as the nearby 13th kindergarden and 4th Highscholl of Aghia Paraskevi.
Objectives: To motivate people to use the public space of the neighborhood, meet and unite with the community and find new uses of the road such as play, create new spaces, recreation, relax etc. Also to make people realise the benefits of a quiet neighborhood, of a slow velocity "woonerf" road, a road not only for cars but one that includes walking and biking, finally...a safe road for all.
Expected Outcomes: To make people realise the benefits of a quiet neighborhood, with roads addressed not only to cars but also suitable for walking and biking and relaxing, safe roads above all. Places were people meet in public and talk, meet, play etc.. We expect that this temporary event will inspire the school community to establish the "bike to school" action. We also expect that the Municipality of the city, transforms this action into a "permanent measure", repeat such activities in other schools of the town, etc.
