Is a ticket for a concert of opera stars a good incentive to promote active transport in Sofia? The INNOAIR team proves that the answer is “Yes!”.

INNOAIR supports the citizens in the transition to alternative ways of moving around Sofia, resulting in cleaner air and healthier lifestyles. At this year's edition of the traditional bike event "Bike Parade 2021 - Sofia cycles and runs for cleaner air" the INNOAIR project partners provided an unusual and prestigious prize - two free tickets to the Gala of the opera prima Sonya Yoncheva and legend Placido Domingo!

“Be brave, live actively and always be together and in shape! My way to thank you is through music!”, says Sonya Yoncheva, with whose support the award was provided.
