Danube Day 2010: Get active for the rivers
Danube Day 2010: Get active for the rivers
Spring is in the air and it is time to start planning the Danube Day celebrations for 29 June.
This year’s slogan ‘Danube Day: get active for the rivers’ underlines the need for each and every one of us to do our bit for the Danube and its tributaries. We can and should get active by avoiding phosphate containing washing liquids, by leaving space to natural floodplains and by not dumping waste into rivers.
Under the leadership of all countries of the Danube countries, activities are planned by governmental and non-governmental organisations, youth and sport clubs, and many more. Again hundreds of thousands of people will hold the Danube Day flag up on 29 June, the anniversary of the signing of the Danube River Protection Convention.
In cooperation with the Danube Environmental Forum, the International Danube Art Master School Competition is organised again this year. Children are invited to take inspiration from the rivers to create an art work which will compete for the prestigious International Danube Art Master crown in autumn. Strong partners such as the Coca-Cola System join in again to blow the horn of Danube Day. So stand up and get active too!
