It s the best way to squeeze through the narrow streets and corners of the older districts, for being an attractive tour and for its clean energy. It's now an essential part of Lisbon's life, a city that would lose part of its soul without the constant rattling of these singular yellow "boxes."

This inclusive and interactive workshop facilitated by Leigh Morris & Sarah Thomas aims to share the ways, activities and resources relating to local biodiversity that are already available within our institutions and, consider how these can be expanded and applied to the new campaign.
