Chisinau and Galati Representatives Visit Muzeiko as Sofia good practice for climate change mitigation

As part of a peer review exchange under the Be Ready Project, implemented in the framework of Interreg Danube Programme and co-financed by the European Commission, municipal representatives from Chisinau (Moldova) and Galati (Romania) visited Sofia to explore urban strategies for adapting to rising temperatures and mitigating urban heat.

A key highlight of the exchange was the visit to Muzeiko – Sofia’s Municipal Children's Science Center. The center, designed with sustainability at its core, provided an inspiring look at how educational institutions can contribute to climate awareness. Through engaging exhibitions on climate change, ecology, and sustainability, curated by scientists, educators, and designers, Muzeiko fosters curiosity and environmental responsibility among young visitors.

Muzeiko also presented its green roof, and shared insights on developing climate shelters, rain gardens, and other sustainable urban infrastructure. The center's integrated sustainable management serves as a model for future climate adaptation efforts.

The exchange highlighted strong potential for transnational replication of Sofia’s good practices, contributing to a more climate-resilient Danube Region through shared learning and collaboration.
