With the establishment of the University in the city, the Voce administration continues to plan a series of services for the many young people from all over Italy who have decided to study in Crotone.

Upon input from the Councilor for Productive Activities Maria Bruni, the administration is designing a card that will offer discounts, concessions and promotions on goods and services to students to support university life even outside the classroom.

Councilor Bruni, in fact, organized a meeting during which, in the presence of trade associations, local public transport companies and associations that manage cultural attractions, it was agreed to establish the “Friends of Unikr” Service Charter aimed at creating a tool that includes a general range of services offered by the City of Crotone.

The Card will provide discounts and benefits at commercial establishments in the municipal area, as well as in places of culture (cinemas, theatre, exhibitions and museums).

Preliminary to the activation of the discounts will be the university card or another document proving enrollment in the current academic year of the University.

By agreement with the managing bodies, for example, museums may provide a series of promotions dedicated to students.

As regards local transport, it will be possible to offer the possibility of purchasing annual passes with reduced prices for traveling by bus.

In commercial activities, the “Friends of Unikr” sticker will be displayed: shops, bars, restaurants, clubs and hotels in Crotone will be able to participate in promotions for University students.

The partnership involved has proposed activating an agreement or agreements with supermarkets which will be able to provide discounts on the products.

Discounts also available for bars and cafes, hotels and B&Bs.

Even for cinema and theatre, a reduction can be envisaged on the full price of the single entry valid for all scheduled shows.

It will be possible to take advantage of the reduced entrance upon presentation of a document certifying the qualification of a student of the University of Crotone.

Also for sustainable mobility there is a discount for the bike – sharing service
