World CafĂŠ Savannah: A Urban Bike Tour An event organized by: Volta Collaborative
Introduction This pursuit invites participants to explore Savannah by biking the city. Using the World CafĂŠ approach this activity will immerse EPIC participants in a rich, contextual exploration of downtown Savannah, inviting them to join with community members in discussions about Savannah's past, present and future. Using bicycle as a sustainable mode of transportation, participants will experience Savannah through multiple stops and engage in dialogue with people from different communities within the city. In this pursuit, which is facilitated by members of the Volta Collaborative and the Savannah Bike Campaign, participants will be involved in envisioning the capacity for community renewal.
