Deputy of Mobility and Territorial Planning and President of the Territorial Transport Authority of Gipuzkoa Rafaela Romero, together with Director of the Territorial Transport Authority Eluska Renedo-Illarregi and Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Education Sciences of Mondragon University Nagore Ipiña, presented the “Young people move!” initiative this morning at the Mondragon University facilities in Eskoriatza. “Young people move!” is one of the initiatives organized by the Department of Mobility and Territorial Planning of the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa as part of European Mobility Week.
Aimed at users of the MUGI card between 14 and 25 years of age, this audiovisual contest will run from September 22 to October 8, and will capture the perspective of youth on sustainable mobility through photographs and videos shared on social networks, using hashtags #BiziMugi and #GazteTxartela.
The initiative, organized in collaboration with the Territorial Transport Authority of Gipuzkoa (in Spanish, Autoridad Territorial del Transporte de Gipuzkoa, ATTG), will conclude with a drawing among all participants; 75 winners will each have 20 euros loaded onto their MUGI card. The prize for best photograph and best video will be an electric bicycle.
As explained by Deputy Rafaela Romero, the names of the winners will be announced on October 15, at which point the students in the Audiovisual Communication degree program at Mondragon University will carry out a project based on the videos and photographs collected in the contest. Romero expressed her gratitude for this collaboration, saying “we hope to generate possible synergies that bring us closer to the youngest people.”
The objective of this action, said Romero, is twofold: “we want young people to become involved in sustainable mobility, and we want them, with their valuable perspective, to help us promote public transport and the use of bicycles and pedestrian paths.”
ATTG Director Eluska Renedo-Illarregi stated that, “The ATTG works to promote the use of public transport on all fronts through Mugi and in collaboration with all of the integrated operators in Gipuzkoa. In this sense, young people are the best endorsers of MUGI on our social networks, they are our fandom, and we want to discuss the future with them. That’s the goal of this initiative.”
Nagore Ipiña, Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Education Sciences of Mondragon University, expressed her gratitude for being invited to participate in the project and added that, “this collaboration is a perfect fit with the values that Mondragon University supports in the Audiovisual Communication degree program: combining creativity and social commitment. A commitment embodied, in this case, in the promotion of sustainable mobility, a very important topic near and dear to students.”
