Silver Recycling Democracy Lab

Silver Recycling Democracy Lab

Welcome to the Silver Recycling Democracy Lab, an initiative that places our senior citizens at the forefront of local democracy and environmental protection!

The core mission of our project is simple yet impactful: to empower older adults by providing them with the tools to actively participate in environmental decision-making within their communities. By using recycling as a practical, everyday entry point, we transform a simple habit into a bridge for constructive dialogue with local authorities.

Our Goals at a Glance:

  • Inclusion in Action: We activate a demographic group that is often underrepresented, ensuring that no one is left behind in local environmental decision-making.
  • Participatory Governance: We enable citizens to co-create recycling solutions and interact directly with their local municipalities.
  • Digital Innovation for All: We utilize a simple, user-friendly digital participation tool, making civic engagement accessible to all ages.

The project is fully aligned with ALDA’s Environment & Climate Hub, as well as its Digital & Innovation Hub, translating European values into tangible, local practices.

Taking the First Steps in Our Municipalities!

As part of our dissemination activities, our first open meetings and workshops will come to life in two of our member Municipalities:

  1. The Municipality of Nea Filadelfeia – Nea Chalkidona
  2. The Municipality of Ilion
