The first Confluence of European Water Bodies took place in September 2023 on the shores of the Mar Menor, the first ecosystem with legal personhood in Europe. We weaved connectivity and collectivity with waters from Poland to Italy, from Sweden to France, from Serbia to Montenegro, to Germany and the UK. We mourned over lost landscapes and gave way to climate grief. We shared inspiration, creativity and hope and spinned action plans and strategies to represent water all over Europe. But above all, we found back the deep realisation that we come from water, that we are water and that the water speaks to us. Together we can built a vital grassroots movement to regenerate waters all over Europe.
