Detailed description (English): European Mobility Week 2015. will start with the Day of Walking and Health. All local kindergartens will participate with their younger groups ( age 3-5) starting the walk from the central Zrinski Square. Together with their teachers, they will proceed along the shortest of the Koprivnica Health Paths - The Green Path ( the path around the central fruit and vegetable market). On four distinct points along the path, four volunteers will wait for them and ask them questions referring to protection of the ozone layer, especially the ones referring to traffic and mobility. For each answer, the children will be given a ballooon- their aim is to collect four balloons by the end of the hunt. The finishing point is at the children's playground near the charger for electric vehicles- each child is given an apple. they will proceed to the town park, where they will also do some dancing.
Another group to walk the Health paths consists of the elderly and the disabled, members of the MARISKA citizens' club. They will walk the Path of Youth, starting at the Retired Citizens's Home and leading to the Zrinski square. There they will do exercises, sing and dance together with children and other citizens.
