The Municipality of Geroskipou, in collaboration with the Embassy of Israel in Cyprus and the “AKTI” Centre for Studies, has installed an ecological artistic installation at Geroskipou municipal beach, which will function as an enormous bin for the disposal and collection of recyclable materials.

The installation ceremony took place on 20 April 2021, between the 1^st and 2^nd snack-bar, in the presence of the Ambassador of Israel to Cyprus.

The “Seashell,” a work by visual artist Elena Daniil, is a functional artistic intervention in the space: an oversized wire seashell, six (6) metres in size! Beach visitors will be able to place their recyclable waste in the “belly” of the seashell, which the “AKTI” team will count and analyse, feeding its database. After sorting at source, the waste will then be sent for recycling.

This is the first official collaboration between the three bodies, and the aim is to continue with a series of environmental actions on the basis of a green agenda.
