Workshops have begun taking place in schools across Kalamata, with the aim of supporting young people in developing and shaping their ideas for proposal submission.
During the workshops, students work in groups, discuss issues related to climate change and creating a sustainable and equitable city, and further develop their ideas so they can turn them into concrete proposals for action.
To support this process, an idea development template has been created, which teams can use as a guide to structure and organize their proposal before submitting it.
