  1. Right, because what we really need in our cities is yet another chance for bureaucrats to hold hands and develop courses on urban mobility—can’t wait for that insightful lecture on how to walk to the pub! 🍻✨

  2. Oh, what a delightful excuse to throw more money at courses that teach us how to navigate the mess we’ve made of our cities! 🤦‍♂️ Who needs actual solutions when you can have a fancy course with an EIT Label? 🍷

    Fantastic, yet another chance for us to throw our hats in the ring for some bureaucratic red tape—because who doesn’t love a good game of “will they fund my genius idea or not?” 😂

    Seems like another chance for the suits to throw around a few million euros while we wait for the buses to actually show up on time. 🤷‍♂️ Just what we need—more courses on how to ride in circles!

  9. So, let me get this straight: we’re offering up to €700,000 for courses on urban mobility? Brilliant! Just what we need—more lectures on how to not get stuck in traffic while waiting for the next tram that never arrives. 🚦💸

    Oh great, another chance for bureaucrats to wax poetic about “livable cities” while we’re still stuck in traffic jams longer than my last vacation in the south of France. Just what we need, more courses to teach us how to navigate the labyrinth of EU red tape. 😏🚦
