Volunteer Testimonials

“This project is more than building ramps—it’s about building equality.”
— Nikos, ESC volunteer

“I learned to see my city through someone else’s eyes.”
— Eleni, Kozani resident

Impact and Results

More than 100 Kozani residents participated in the accessibility questionnaire. The volunteers gathered valuable input to identify obstacles and improve urban mobility.
