Greenovate

The Greenovate project revitalized and beautified the centre of the town of Kozani, adding greening space through window boxes and large planters in the main thoroughfares of the centre and on the pedestrian places across the town’s market area. All materials used for the creation of the Green Corners came from upcycling material thus promoting sustainability and the circular economy.

The main feature of the Greenovate project was engagement with local businesses and young students not only in the planning and preparation phase but also by adapting the green space to ensure preservation, daily care, and a sense of belonging.

Education about the environmental, social, and economic benefits was offered to the students in innovative lessons about the principles of the circular economy and sustainability. Their active involvement created practical business cases for the project execution.
