These hybrid approaches, while promising, still treat rivers as problems to be solved rather than partners to be understood. We need to rethink the very purpose of rivers in our lives – not as obstacles or scenery, but as living systems deserving of space and respect.

True security comes not from conquering nature, but from finding our place within it, as many indigenous people have long understood. Let’s embrace this wisdom again.

RIVERS!

What can we learn from European rivers? How can we prevent floods using that knowledge?

What are some of Europe's latests wild rivers?

What is the "fifth season" in Estonia and what does it have to do with flooding rivers?

Understanding the flow: Europe's forgotten river wisdom - The European Perspective

I come from a country where rivers crisscross the land like veins—feeding valleys, nourishing communities, and shaping the terrain. From wide, slow-moving

We're reaching the end, final ideas:

- Don’t feel bad for your English accent. But pay attention to the sounds that make you more intelligible.

- English is yours too. As a European, “European English” is the variety that you’re probably speaking. Don’t get your text reviewed by a native.

Marko Modiano one last time:

“Don’t apologise, just be comfortable”.

Por último, quizá la newsletter más pequeña de todas las citadas aquí.

Con poco más
de 200 suscriptores, la mía propia, The European Perspective.

Escribo historias de
gente y temas europeos, con patas en tres o cuatro países. Busco responder a la
pregunta de si existe una forma propia de entender el mundo, una perspectiva
europea.

The European Perspective

In September 2007 I was in Riga, in a bar, watching the final game of the EuroBasket: Pau Gasol’s Spain versus Kirilenko’s Russia. They had already met in the preliminary rounds, and Spain had won by 12 points. The final game was taking place in Madrid, so things looked good for Spain.

Believe it or not, this is an article about the Russian minorities in the Baltics.

The newsletter I write, "The European Perspective", has finally migrated away from #Substack

https://europeanperspective.news/goodbye-substack-hello-europeanperspective-news/

Every article of The European Perspective covers one single story about European people, not about the political or institutional Europe.

Every story will have feet in three or four countries, it will be trans-European. Like this, we can start to discover if there is a European cultural layer and discover hidden gems with European roots

Come with us!
