ABOUT
ECOWEEK 2011 in Thessaloniki, Greece
ECOWEEK 2011 took place in Thessaloniki, Greece, and is now scheduled
to also take place in Milano, Italy - for the first time! It is
not uncommon that ECOWEEK participants join ECOWEEK workshops again
and again, simply because, ECOWEEK workshops are different in the
different cities and countries they take place. ECOWEEK responds
to the contextual facts, realities and needs of each place, and
therefore, enables its participants to experience ECOWEEK differently
in every place. Join us in Milano, in the first ECOWEEK to take
place in Italy!
ECOWEEK 2011 took place in March 28 - April 3, 2011 in Thessaloniki,
northern Greece, an important port city, accessible by train from
Europe, the Balkans, and Turkey. Thessaloniki, an ancient city dating
back to Alexander the Great, has been home to many religions, ethnicities,
languages and nationalities throughout history, traces and monuments
of which can still be seen when walking through the city. ECOWEEK
is very proud to hold its conference and workshops for the first
time in this important historic and inspiring city. ECOWEEK also
acknowledges the successful close collaboration with the City of
Thessaloniki, the presence of Mayor Y. Boutaris during the workshop
presentations, and the close collaboration with the Office of Deputy
Mayor K. Zervas.
