For the fourth consecutive year, this exhibition invites passengers and visitors to a special airport area displaying the best of this year’s “Ecomobility” artwork: models, photographic material, paintings, printed material and novel constructions, all creations of 3rd grade High School pupils, expressing themselves on environmental problems in big cities and creating their ideas of a dream-city, free of exhaust fumes and smog. All artworks were created during the school year 2008-2009, to support pupils’ projects for the environmental campaign “ECOMOBILITY, Ecological Automation, Contribution to the Environment".
