LECTURES + PRESENTATIONS

Rok and the BRD team have traveled to festivals, outdoor shops and events to share the story of BRT over the last couple of years. Interactive and entertaining slide shows (presented with complete honesty and zero filter) entertain audiences with the whole BRD story but also challenge people to think and take action for themselves.

Presentations take people on the journey…from how Rok took the plunge and dove into this crazy project to how the team pulled together BRT 1 and BRT 2. Presentations also outline why hydro is dirty  and how we got our story into the spotlight of international and nations media attention. These events helped share the story of BRT but also inspired and reminded people that anyone can make a positive change. You just have to take a leap.

It is our hope that people leave with some guts and motivation, maybe even inspiration to take on a project or cause that they feel passionate about.

If you want to hear Rok’s entertaining and honest chat about BRT and BRD, contact us via info@balkanriverdefence.org and we will try and set up a presentation.
