Within development of Vormsi green area we are engaging different stakeholders to achieve nature based solution that would suit local expectation and possibilities as much as possible. Collaboration with different organisation we are also able to reach more people and raise awareness regarding benefits of urban nature. Members of cooperation network are formed based on the main goals of GoGreenRoutes project which can be generalised under three main topics: environment, community and wellbeing.
On the 2nd of November team members of the international project “GoGreenRoutes” from Tallinn Strategic Management Office met with the educational institutions near the Vormsi park to learn about their expectations and preferences regarding development of this green area.
On the 3rd of February at 16:00, an open discussion within the GoGreenRoutes project will take place near the playground at Vormsi 5. The goal of the discussion is to continue planning the future of the Vormsi green area with the help of residents, neighbourhood organisations and city officials.
International project GoGreenRoutes is focused on nature-based solutions that could help alleviate the effects of urbanisation and climate change, as air pollution is one of the largest environmental risks in cities that also directly effects the health of citizens.
