🌍✨ Last week, we successfully completed the 3rd Transnational Meeting of the One Health 4 Cities [URBACT Network] ! We were welcomed with incredible hospitality by the city of Elefsina, its local organisations, and its wonderful citizens. I also had the honour of presenting our network at the 2nd Ecoculture Festival in Elefsina. 🎤🌿
We learned so much from this remarkable city, where the layers of ancient history and industrial heritage have left an unforgettable mark. 🏛️🏭
If you haven’t heard about Elefsina, now’s the time! 🇬🇷 This city is one of the 5 sacred cities of ancient Greece, home to the Eleusinian Mysteries. In 2023, Elefsina was the Cultural Capital of Europe, hosting outstanding cultural events and transforming its industrial sites into unique cultural venues. 🎭🏙️
Reuse and sustainability were key, all while preserving the city’s rich history. ♻️
During the meeting, we dove deep into #OneHealth at the national and local levels. Along with our partners, we engaged in a One Health role-playing activity, envisioning the future of Elefsina. 🤝 🌳 Our network's ad-hoc expert, Christophe Gouache, guided us through designing testing actions with and for the citizens. We also explored innovative ways to connect One Health with art and culture! 🎨🧑⚕️ Stay tuned for more insights!
A big thank you to everyone who made this event such a success! 🙌✨
