“Act local, think global” became the reality of the 2020 Students for Rivers Camp. Although planned to take place in the Lim Valley in Montenegro, we had to adapt to the current situation and got creative by bringing the Students for Rivers Camp to everyone’s living room and local community. Here, we would like to look back at an inspiring week that brought together river lovers from all corners of the world to discuss, learn, and explore ways to put knowledge into action for their free-flowing and healthy rivers.
The week consisted of several modules, taking place either online or organized locally. The activities that were organized locally were called “Do It Yourself” (DIY) events. Everyone was invited to either immerse themselves in the full program or select a few events in which to participate. Almost 100 people registered from 35 different countries, which shows that people around the world are hungry to protect their free-flowing, healthy rivers.
