=== Film: Genie In A Bottle Unleashed ===
 
With insight and a creative new voice, two Chicago-area 13-year olds, Stephen Sotor and Trace Gaynor, have written, edited and produced Genie In A Bottle Unleashed, a film that explores the history and consequences of the development of the atomic bomb.
 
 
From the secrets of the Manhattan Project through the horrific devastation at Hiroshima and Nagasaki - these two 7th graders lead a new generation through our nuclear history; along the way they manage to interview Nobel prize winning scientists, the creator of the "Doomsday Clock," the mayor of Hiroshima and even a Hiroshima 7th grader about the legacy of the atomic bomb.  Even more creatively, they also track down the proverbial "Genie" to find out why he has created such havoc.  Screened at the United Nations, this 15-minute gem received a standing ovation.
 
 
We will show this film, which was distributed by the European Youth Network for Nuclear Disarmament, on '''December 29, 2008, at 10:00 pm in the Cinema Room'''. It's a collection of short films, altogether some 60 minutes elapsed time.

=== Film: The Tenth Castor Transport to Gorleben ===
 
Nowhere on earth has the nuclear industry found a safe way to keep waste that will remain dangerous for at least a million years. In Germany politicians decided 30 years ago that a salt deposit near the village of Gorleben in the north of the country should be the permanent repository, and a prefabricated storage hall next door to it the "interim storage". Scientists almost from the outset ruled the salt dome unsafe.
 
 
The 800 people living near Gorleben and several thousand others living in a cluster of villages and small towns in the picturesque farming and forestry area have fought the nuclear plans and the transportation of waste to the storage from the beginning. The recycled waste from German power stations comes from a plutonium plant in northern France in so-called Castor caskets. We have filmed the protests against the tenth such transport to Gorleben in November 2006. You will see how after 30 years the people living near Gorleben and the thousands who join them from all over Germany once a year when the Castor train comes are not tired of revolting against this nuclear madness.
 
 
With many interviews, action images and snapshots, this documentary gives a multi-faceted impression of the unrelenting resistance against the nuclear facilities in Gorleben.
 
 
The promised German nuclear phase-out seems to be becoming a complete farce. The nuclear industry is mounting pressure on the government to let it build more nuclear power plants by touting them as climate savers. The struggle in Gorleben is seen by main stream media and politicians only as a policing problem. In that context the film gives voice and image to the protest’s view.
 
 
The film deals with people who sit down on railway tracks and roads, usually in bitter cold, sometimes brutalised by police. It asks them where they find the courage and the motivation to resist again and again, but also about their fear and their powerlessness when facing an army of up to 20,000 police and the annual militarisation of a whole region.
 
 
But resistance doesn’t need to be as serious as the issue. The first-time appearance of the insurgent clandestine rebel clown army provides a new spontaneous creativity and subversivity within the conflict.
 
 
We will show this film, which was produced by [http://www.cinerebelde.org/stop-castor-p-35.html?osCsid=3c2a1c64af0a44a4aa568a67324134f0&language=en Cine Rebelde], on '''December 30, 2008, at 10:00 pm in the Cinema Room'''. This films takes some 40 minutes elapsed time.

=== [[Action:Infotour Around The Baltic Sea|Infotour Around The Baltic Sea]] ===
 
The Baltic Sea is the most radioactive sea in the world - thus we think it makes sense to inform about nuclear power and its risks. This Workshop is about the idea to arrange an infotour (maybe by caravan) around the Baltic Sea in summer 2010. That way we want to come in contact with local initiatives, do actions, take part in information events and organize some of those events ourselves, have network meetings with local activists, spread information about nuclear issues and maybe other topics, too.
 
 
The workshop, we will hold on '''1st January, 2009, from 03:00 to 05:00 pm in Room 10A on the 3rd floor''', shall inform you about the idea and wants to motivate more people to take part in the organizing process of this infotour. We will talk about our ideas and what has to be done to realize this project. We would be happy to get new contacts for this issue and to meet new interested people.
 
 
You can get more information about this workshop from [mailto:FalkATgreenkids.de Falk]{{Spamprotection}} and via the phone number +44 7624 1948 77 (yes, it is really a British mobile phone!). There are much more international anti-nuclear workshops and meetings planned at the JUKSS - so have a look to: http://nuclear-heritage.net for more information.
 
 
 
=== International Anti-nuclear Network Office ===
 
We want to found an international network office for anti-nuclear and anti-GMO activities. We want to help to connect people in different countries, give information about people who can translate texts from one language into another, give contacts of experts in the countries, initialize network meetings, support publication of international info material with background information...
 
 
The plan is to have an office with the needed infrastructure, documents, and space to work; a point to which other people can come, phone or mail, if they have questions or need contact to other activists. And we want one or two people working in this office for some money to live (but it will be more a kind of voluntary service with a kind of pocket money). Those people are thought to rotate continuously, for example there is a person from Germany working there for half a year and then another person, maybe from another country continues this work. This principle of rotation refers only to the money; I hope there will be some people working in this office without money, as real volunteers. The rotation is thought to help to develop a real equal network with not only one group benefiting from the money we organize.
 
 
This workshop, which will be held on '''January 1, 2009, at 05:00 pm in room 10A on the 3rd floor''', is a strategy meeting to talk about the preparation and organization of this project. You are welcome to participate in this meeting if you are interested in taking part in the organizing process of the international network office.
 
 
 
=== Film: Deadly Cargo ===
 
Deadly Cargo is a film by the award winning video activist collective [http://www.camcorderguerillas.net/ Camcorder Guerillas] and can now be seen at venues around the country.
 
 
The film uncovers how fully assembled Trident nuclear warheads are transported on public roads in secret convoys, passing large centres of population such as Oxford, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow on their journey between AWE Burghfield in Berkshire and RNAD Coulport in western Scotland.
 
 
Interviewing grassroots activists, environmental journalists, international disarmament experts and local authorities about the dangers and illegalities of this deadly cargo, the Camcorder Guerillas offer an insight into an issue usually well hidden from the public.
 
 
Find out how ordinary citizens in the Nukewatch network track and campaign against the convoy and its deadly cargo – and how you can help put an end to this nuclear madness.
 
 
We will show this film on '''January 1, 2009, at 10:00 pm in the Cinema Room'''. It's a collection of short films, altogether some 40 minutes elapsed time.

Documentation

Step by step we will documentate the meeting at this place:


Invitation for International Activists

Our next network meeting will take place from December 29th, 2008, untill January 1st, 2009 in Frankfurt/Main, Germany. We will offer workshops informing about the nuclear situation in different countries and do networking.

Now our Reader for this meeting is finished. You can read it online before the meeting starts and get to know about the planned schedule of the event, about participating groups and read some short information about the Youth Environmental Congress where it takes place.

Please send an E-Mail[1] if you want to offer a workshop and if (and when) you want to come to the meeting. You can also come earlier and stay longer because we meet within the context of the "JUKSS", the Youth Environmental Congress.

The international network meeting of Anti-nuclear activists will begin on Monday, December 29th, 2008, and will end on Thursday, January 1st, 2009. We will hold (public) workshops about the nuclear situation in the different countries, for the larger audience of the "Youth Environmental Congress" (this is a big political meeting - not only for young people). We will have at least one general network meeting to talk about our plans and projects in the near future and how to work together on some of the ideas. Maybe there should be further open workshops for special projects, e.g. the planned caravan information tour around the Baltic Sea to inform about radioactivity concerns, organize actions, come in contact with other activists and to take part in events of partner organizations.


Want to Offer A Workshop?

You are welcome to offer a workshop informing about nuclear issues (what is the situation? current activities? safety problems? ...) in your country. And we would be happy to host a couple of other workshops on more special topics - like projects, campaigns, etc. that you are planning and where you want to invite other people to take part in.

So please inform[1] us about your plans: do you want to come to our meeting in Germany? Do you want to offer information workshops or do you wish to discuss special topics/questions?


Review of the Last Network Meeting

To get an impression of the first network meeting we organized, you can have a look at the notes on the network meeting in Bure (France).

Greenkids e.V.

Greenkids is an independent environmental youth organization, founded in 1995 in Magdeburg, Germany. Our roots are a Greenteam, an Greenpeace youth group, that existed in Magdeburg from 1993 until 1995. Our themes are nature conservation, anti nuclear information and action, GMOs, criticism of ecological, social and other effects of tobacco and much more.

In 2006 Greenkids started the campaign “Europe's Nuclear Heritage”, supported by the YOUTH program. In this context we are building a network of organizations working critically on nuclear energy. In February 2007 we visited our partner organization Luonto Liito and went to the nuclear site of Olkiluoto to have a critical look at the power station and the planned final disposal site.

PLAGE - Independent Salzburg Platform Against Nuclear Dangers (A)

PLAGE (Überparteiliche Salzburger Plattform gegen Atomgefahren PLAGE - Independent Salzburg Platform Against Nuclear Dangers) is a regional citizens' group that cooperates with other organisations in Austria and abroad. Indeed it started with cross-border work against the German nuclear waste reprocessing project in Bavaria (WAA Wackersdorf), which it helped to prevent (1986-89). Priorities in PLAGE's activities since: the Czech NPP at Temelin; reform or abolition of EURATOM (the European Atomic Community + Treaty); lobbying Austrian policy-makers toward these and related goals.

Heinz STOCKINGER: Spokesperson of PLAGE, engaged in the antinuclear struggle since 1977. That was when the "Austrian Nuclear Exception" started: the country's "no" to its first and ready-built nuclear power plant at Zwentendorf, near Vienna capital, in a 1978 referendum. In his private life, H.S. is a lecturer in French language and culture at Salzburg University.

"The Austrian Nuclear Exception" - About The Nuclear Policy in Austria and The Campaign to Leave The EURATOM Treaty

cancelled because the speaker was ill...
The EURATOM Community and Treaty have been the European nuclear industry's often "forgotten fortress". Without it, the nuclear industry probably wouldn't have survived the political Chernobyl fall-out; this institutional & legal basis largely unknown to the public, however, helped it crawl back to power ("Nuclear Renaissance"). Austria has a chance of getting out of the EURATOM nuclear trap, without leaving the EU as a whole.

The workshop will make you familiar with the tremendous role EURATOM plays behind the scenes, and how we try to get Austria out of it (The "Raus aus EURATOM" Campaign). Such a withdrawal from the European Atomic Community would send a shock wave through the international nuclear establishment, just as did the 1978 referendum on the Zwentendorf NPP, which was the first time ever and worldwide that a national population was asked to decide on a nuclear plant and on the nuclear path.

You can join this workshop on December 29, 2008 at 04:00 pm in room 10A on the 3rd floor.

Information about the Jukss

The International Anti-nuclear Network Meeting will take place at the Youth Environmental Congress (JUKSS) in Frankfurt/Main (Germany). Our workshops will be part of this congress. We have one class room we can use for our workshops and meetings. Accommodation and food will be at the same as for other participants of the JUKSS. Of course you do not have to participate in every workshop of the Network Meeting, but can listen to all the other workshops at the congress. Here you find some information about the JUKSS.

Around Christmas and New Year, more than 300 curious, artistic, critical, political, philosophic Freaks, Punks, Hippies, Eco warriors and "ordinary" people come together for the JUKSS in Frankfurt/Main...

...to inform, to discuss, make plans, get new ideas, try utopias, take action, be acrobatic and juggle, to knit and have fun... and to change the world! We try the experiment of living together in an equal, self-determined way. We create a wide frame of possibilities: The program is made by the topics that you consider to be important. You can make presentations and show movies, bring exhibits and info material, organize workshops and initiate discussions... When we cook together, we create culinary pleasures and philosophize...

Short Info:
WHERE?
A school building in Frankfurt/Main. Please look at http://jukss.de.

WHEN?
27th December 2008 - 4th January 2009.

MONEY?
Donation-based. We need about 7-10 euros per day for food, accommodation and program - who can pay more makes the participation of people with less money possible.

WHAT TO BRING?
sleeping bag, camping mat, flashlight, musical instruments, songbooks, books and info material, material for actions and workshops, exhibits, grandmother's jam and Christmas cake for the Open Buffet...

Please leave your animals at home.

Environment??
JUKSS originally means "Youth Environmental Congress" (in German: JugendUmweltKongress). For us, environment consists of the network of social, economical, political, ecological and other circumstances we are living in. To question these circumstances and to understand the diverse connections between them are first steps for change.

Some of this year's topics are: Neoliberalism and Globalization, Environmental Protection from below, Direct Action, Animal Rights, Gender Roles, Education and Antifascism.

Self-organization
You can expect almost everything at the JUKSS, but one thing for sure not: to get a ready-made product - the JUKSS is living from your ideas and your contributions! Self-organization is the motto. There are no people who are responsible for everyone and everything - everybody is responsible. Even the logistic tasks are taken over by the participants.

To make decisions, different methods are tried - the object is to find an equal way of finding solutions without forcing anybody to anything.

JUKSS without borders!
Actually the JUKSS is a very open event crossing borders of subcultures, generations, movements etc. But in former years there were always very few Non-German-Speakers at the JUKSS - this is what we want to change now! Of course, diversity of languages and political backgrounds is also a new challenge for organization, decision-taking etc. But we will try our best to make everybody feel welcome and have equal possibilities of co-creating this space.

CONTACT information


On the JUKSS schedule the meeting is announced like this:

International Anti-nuclear Network Meeting:
The international network meeting of Anti-nuclear activists will begin on Monday, December 29th, 2008, and will end on Thursday, January 1st, 2009. We will hold (public) workshops about the nuclear situation in the different countries, for the larger audience of the "Youth Environmental Congress" (this is a big political meeting - not only for young people). We will have at least one general network meeting to talk about our plans and projects in the near future and how to work together on some of the ideas. Maybe there should be further open workshops for special projects, e.g. the planned caravan information tour around the Baltic Sea to inform about radioactivity concerns, organize actions, come in contact with other activists and to take part in events of partner organizations.

The language of all workshops will be English. For more information have a look to the Nuclear Heritage Network Wikipage. We will publish the concrete schedule here as soon as possible.


And this is how the meeting is announced on the German JUKSS schedule:
