Danube Day was a superb celebration of everything achieved in the 18 years
since the signing of the Danube River Protection Convention. Whether you
were one of the hundreds of thousands who participated; one of millions who
heard about it; or work for one of the 900 organisations involved, you helped
spread Danube solidarity through more than 350 individual events. Bridging
national and institutional boundaries, the 14-country festival demonstrates

value of rivers, renews our resolve to look after them and, with so many
events focused on enjoying rivers, helps us reclaim them!
