On 20-21 June, an Interreg team visited the city of Córdoba in Spain to shoot a video reportage documenting the measures that the city has been implementing toward the sustainable management of waste. Spearheaded by Interreg Interreg Intherwaste lead partner SADECO, these efforts have consisted of creative ways to engage the population over the years in order to garner support for and acceptance of such efforts.

The Interreg filming crew had the opportunity to meet with different stakeholders that have participated in these efforts. Among them were SADECO personnel, the staff and students at various schools, a representative of the hospitality sector and the dean of the Faculty of Philosophy in the city, which is hosted in an old building that poses specific challenges related to waste management.

Below are some photos and videos taken during the visit. More information, including the official reportage, will follow shortly.
