Not only cycle, but look around!
Under the HungAIRy LIFE integrated project, Herman Otto Institute Non-profit Ltd. has launched the first addition of its “tekAIR” Pro-Cycling National Video Contest for individuals and teams of interested people.
Within the framework of HungAIRy project, which aims to improve air quality in Hungary during its 8-year lifespan, the project coordinator Herman Otto Institute Nonprofit Ltd. launched its “tekAIR” event on 1st July 2021, in order to promote cycling. During the course of the following year and a half, awareness raising events will be held three times. The “tekAIR” video contest is the first event in the series.
Hop on two wheels and show your favourite cycling route!
The aim of the video contest is to encourage as many people as possible to cycle and promote its positive effects on air quality. Participants must submit a short video introducing natural and built attractions along their favourite cycling routes. With this contest, we would like to target residents who have strong feelings to their hometowns and tourists who are planning to visit one of the cycle routes.
“Not only cycle, but look around” event would like to grab people’s attention that cycling is not only an activity that helps to protect the environment, but it is great for our health, while it boosts physical and mental wellbeing. It is not easy to appreciate the view when we are driving fast along the roads. Meanwhile, the landscape immediately come to life when we are on a bike. It is by riding a bicycle that we can learn the contours of a county best, and become more enthusiastic about discovering nature.
