THE PROJECT
Living Rivers is a project co-funded by the European Commission, through the Erasmus+ Programme (KA220 – Cooperation partnership in Adult education), aiming to reinforce people’s sense of appropriation of water and highlighting the importance of this precious resource as a common good and human right. Furthermore, the project addresses citizens’ participation to the protection of rivers, taking into account the modifications of environment due to climate change.
It lasts 36 months, from 01/02/2022 to 01/02/2025.
The project involves four partners from three different countries: Rosto Solidário (Portugal), Rede Inducar CRL (Portugal), Fundación ASPAYM Castilla y León (Spain) and CEIPES (Italy).
