EWM Annual Event 2025 - Girona, Spain

 

The European Water Movement meets in Girona to defend public management and the human right to water

From December 5 - 7, 2025, we will gather in Girona for the annual meeting of the European Water Movement (EWM).

We are an open, participatory, and diverse network that promotes water as part of the common heritage of humanity and as a fundamental human right essential for all living beings.

Over three days, activists, researchers, and representatives from public entities and social movements across Europe will discuss current challenges in water management, the advance of privatization, and the need to build public, democratic, and transparent models of water governance.

Not able to join in person ?

You can follow sessions online:

  • Friday 5 December from 9am to 1pm
  • Saturday 6 December from 11:30am to 1 pm
