During the workshop, we collaborated to create mobility timelines, exploring how our mobility behaviour has evolved over time and how key events have influenced this change.

We also examined the mobility of vulnerable groups in rural areas, considering the significant challenges they encounter due to factors such as age, disability, care responsibilities, and the absence of a driving licence.

The students' keen interest in the topic highlights once again the importance of considering mobility and social participation together, and of focusing more on rural areas in spatial planning.
