🌱 Sustainable Prague: Our Self-Guided City Tour Went Live!
This morning, members of Wild Geese hit the streets of Prague's city center for our "Sustainable Prague" walking tour — and what a morning it was! ☀️🚶♀️🚶♂️
Starting at the iconic Astronomical Clock (600+ years old and still ticking — talk about sustainable design 😉), we wound through hidden green corners of the city most tourists never find: the walled Franciscan Garden, Slavic Island's floodplain park, the centuries-old water mills on Kampa's Čertovka stream, the peacock-filled Vojan Gardens, Charles Bridge, and finished up at Maitrea — a restaurant built inside one of Prague's earliest sustainably retrofitted buildings. 🦢🦚⛲🌉
Along the way, we talked about what sustainability really looks like in a historic city: car-free zones, urban biodiversity, flood resilience, renewable energy heritage, and buildings upgraded instead of torn down. Sometimes the most sustainable choice is the one that's already been standing for centuries. 💚
📍 The best part? The tour doesn't end with today's event. We've put together a full self-guided version — with all 7 stops, maps, and fun "spot it" challenges at each location — so anyone can walk this route anytime and discover Sustainable Prague for themselves.

This event is a follow-up activity to Green Pathways, an Erasmus+ training course organized by Sustainable for the Future Foundation, that empowers youth workers to integrate sustainability into their everyday practice through experiential learning and nature-based approaches. Building on the experience of Green Compass and guided by the European Sustainability Competence Framework (GreenComp), the 7-day course ran May 31 – June 8, 2026 in Bansko, Bulgaria, and gave participants:
🔧 Practical tools to integrate sustainability into youth work
🌳 Experience with non-formal and nature-based learning methods
💡 Inspiration and ideas for local actions
🌍 Connections with an international network of youth workers
Today's walking tour is exactly that: an idea from Bansko, put into practice back home. 🎒✨
The project was co-funded by the European Union.
