This webinar will focus on tools for participation in water climate actions, bringing together artistic and scientific perspectives, as part of the series When Waters Speak.

WaterWalks is a global water monitoring project managed by LUDWIG to raise awareness about rivers-related rapidly changing environments. The project aims at building a database on rivers with the help of citizens, artists, and scientists through a dedicated app, where stories, conversations, pictures, sounds, videos, and water-quality measurements can be shared. The webinar will feature the screening of The Song of the Ox composed by Kate Moore, which will be discussed then by invited artists and scientists.
