== Stop Nuclear Power - Baltic Sea Info Tour 2010 ==
−
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 a (maybe caravan-) infotour around the Baltic Sea in summer 2010. That way we want to come in contact with local initiatives, do action, take part in information event 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 14:00 to 16:00 am''' 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 doing it together with us.

More information about this workshop you can get 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.

=== Facing Nuclear Challenges of the Baltic Sea ===
 +
The Baltic Sea Info Tour will inform about nuclear power and its risks as well as about the renewable alternatives. The Tour group will travel around the Baltic Sea in summer 2010, informing and emancipating young people and calling citizens of all ages to raise awareness of the challenges of nuclear industry and current development surrounding the Baltic Sea area.
  
 +
The Tour is arranged by different groups, organisations and individuals who share the concern of radioactive pollution. The Tour topics will be arranged by local people. Everyone can take part and join the Tour by informing, arranging local action, joining the network meetings, spreading information about nuclear issues or just showing up in the events. Every step counts!
  
−
=== Planning Process ===
+
=== Informing through Local Events ===
−
We thought we should have preparation meetings every some months (to see each other in reality from time to time and not to depend completely on virtuell communication like email). First ideas:
+
The tour is an informative event, dedicated to the Baltic Sea, embracing the communities surrounding the Baltic Sea. We want to discuss the challenges with people living across the Baltic Sea and to give more information about certain issues connected to radioactivity, nuclear power and renewable alternatives.
−
* meeting at the [http://www.jukss.de/En:main_page JUKSS] to make clear what we want with this tour & what it shall be - ''1st January 2009''
 
−
** search for other people who want to participate in organizing this infotour
 
−
* meeting in March for example in Sweden
 
−
* meeting in the summer at the Finnish summer camp
 
  
 +
The Baltic Sea Info Tour will consist of different kinds of activities: street actions, information events, workshops, performances, discussions, local gatherings, spreading of flyers and posters. The Tour will include several stops in the Baltic Sea countries. It will start from Finland in June and end again in Finland in August 2010. Please see the [[Template:Baltic Sea Info Tour - Detailed Schedule|timetable of the stops]] near you for more information.

=== Baltic Sea Water Basin Polluted by Nuclear Industry ===
 +
The Baltic Sea is one of the most radioactively polluted seas compared to other water bodies in the world. This has happened mainly because of the radioactive releases of nuclear power plants in the Baltic Sea area (mostly due to Swedish and Finnish power plants), the radioactive particles distributed from the Chernobyl accident, nuclear bomb tests in the atmosphere and Sellafield’s discharges.
  
 +
Also the Russian and Lithuanian reactors increased the amount of radioactivity in the Baltic Sea. Additionally the proposed uranium mining projects and final disposal sites as well as nuclear transports are strengthening the risk of pollution for the vital sea between Finland, Russia, Baltic States, Poland, Germany, Denmark and Sweden.
  
−
=== To Do ===
+
Including the impacts of uranium mining, processing of the ore to produce nuclear fuel and the disposal of the created long-life nuclear waste, the operation of nuclear power plants has an immense impact to the global warming. Nuclear power is expensive and dangerous and the resources used in the nuclear industry would be more beneficial for present and future generations if spent in renewable energy systems.
−
* start planning funding
+
 
−
* gather already existing material & info (flyers, documents, etc)
+
The Info Tour has started as an action of concerned people of the Baltic Sea community. The tour will inform people about the facts of uranium energy and radioactive pollution of the Baltic Sea. The tour will activate and emancipate people to take part in the events of the local stops. The Tour will advance active courage both locally and in large social and ecological systems.
−
* prepare own content (f.ex. workshops)
+
 
−
** separate working group starts working on the map project
+
'''All hands on deck!'''<br/>
−
*** this will also help in planning route, location, & what groups to contact
+
'''Immediate Closure of All Nuclear Facilities - Worldwide!'''
−
* contact & invite local (or regional) groups to cooperate with ''([[Template:Baltic Sea Info Tour 2010 - Preparation/Invitation Sketch|invitation sketch]])''
+
 
−
* invite other people for preparation & tour
+
 
−
* Falk should contact former BYCO network organizations and ask if they are interested in this project: http://www.byco.info/
+
== Getting Started ==
 +
The idea of it arose at the [[Past:NUCLEAR weekEND in Finland|NUCLEAR weekEND]] in Isnäs (FIN) in October, 2008. A first [[International Anti-nuclear Network Meeting December 2008 in Frankfurt/Main|bigger planning and promotion meeting]] ''([[Baltic Sea Infotour JUKSS workshop notes|Minutes]])'' took place at the Youth Environmental Congress in Frankfurt/Main on 1 January, 2009. On April 17th-19th, 2009 [[Action:Infotour Around The Baltic Sea/Meeting April 2009|another preparation meeting]] ''([[Action:Infotour Around The Baltic Sea/Meeting April 2009/Minutes|Minutes]])'' was organized in Stockholm. A [[Action:Infotour Around The Baltic Sea/Skype Meeting May 2009|virtual meeting]] was held on June 13th, 2009 via Skype. The Tour's project was also [[Action:Infotour Around The Baltic Sea/Meeting Lapland-Camp 2009|presented]] at [[Nuclear Climate Camp]] in Tervola, Finland in July 2009 where new poeple joined the project. Another [[Action:Infotour Around The Baltic Sea/Meeting Autumn 2009|prepartion meeting]] was held at the Youth Environmental Congress near Hamburg from December 25th, 2009 to January 2nd, 2010 and the next one took place at the [[International Anti-nuclear Network Meeting in Finland|International Anti-nuclear Network Meeting]] on March 25th-29th, 2010 in Helsinki. A [[Action:Infotour Around The Baltic Sea/Meeting 26-27 April 2010|"Western Baltic Tour" preparation meeting]] took place in Greifswald (D) on April 26th-27th, 2010. The [[Action:Infotour Around The Baltic Sea/Meeting May 31-June 2 2010|last preparation meeting]] was held in Bonn (D) on May 31st-June 2nd, 2010. The Tour itself takes place in summer 2010 from June 22nd to August 21st.

−
One central project within the infotour project will be to create a map showing the locations of all kinds of nuclear activities in the countries around the Baltic Sea, and compiling information about them. The idea is to distribute this map and information on the tour. It will also be a helpful tool for planning the tour (route, contacts, issues etc.).

The Baltic Sea, The Eastern Sea... It does not matter how you call it. It is our sea and it is the most polluted sea in the world. Horrifying, isn't it? This is why we must become active. And we do - by organizing the "Baltic Sea Infotour". » What is the Tour? » How do I participate?


Schedule of the Baltic Sea Info Tour 2010 (short version)

check also the detailed schedule


Stop Nuclear Power - Baltic Sea Info Tour 2010

The Baltic Sea is one of the most radioactively polluted water bodies in the world (PDF flyer) - thus we think it is important to inform about nuclear power and its risks. The idea is to arrange an infotour around the Baltic Sea in summer 2010. That way we want to come in contact with local initiatives, carry out 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.


Facing Nuclear Challenges of the Baltic Sea

The Baltic Sea Info Tour will inform about nuclear power and its risks as well as about the renewable alternatives. The Tour group will travel around the Baltic Sea in summer 2010, informing and emancipating young people and calling citizens of all ages to raise awareness of the challenges of nuclear industry and current development surrounding the Baltic Sea area.

The Tour is arranged by different groups, organisations and individuals who share the concern of radioactive pollution. The Tour topics will be arranged by local people. Everyone can take part and join the Tour by informing, arranging local action, joining the network meetings, spreading information about nuclear issues or just showing up in the events. Every step counts!

Informing through Local Events

The tour is an informative event, dedicated to the Baltic Sea, embracing the communities surrounding the Baltic Sea. We want to discuss the challenges with people living across the Baltic Sea and to give more information about certain issues connected to radioactivity, nuclear power and renewable alternatives.

The Baltic Sea Info Tour will consist of different kinds of activities: street actions, information events, workshops, performances, discussions, local gatherings, spreading of flyers and posters. The Tour will include several stops in the Baltic Sea countries. It will start from Finland in June and end again in Finland in August 2010. Please see the timetable of the stops near you for more information.

Baltic Sea Water Basin Polluted by Nuclear Industry

The Baltic Sea is one of the most radioactively polluted seas compared to other water bodies in the world. This has happened mainly because of the radioactive releases of nuclear power plants in the Baltic Sea area (mostly due to Swedish and Finnish power plants), the radioactive particles distributed from the Chernobyl accident, nuclear bomb tests in the atmosphere and Sellafield’s discharges.

Also the Russian and Lithuanian reactors increased the amount of radioactivity in the Baltic Sea. Additionally the proposed uranium mining projects and final disposal sites as well as nuclear transports are strengthening the risk of pollution for the vital sea between Finland, Russia, Baltic States, Poland, Germany, Denmark and Sweden.

Including the impacts of uranium mining, processing of the ore to produce nuclear fuel and the disposal of the created long-life nuclear waste, the operation of nuclear power plants has an immense impact to the global warming. Nuclear power is expensive and dangerous and the resources used in the nuclear industry would be more beneficial for present and future generations if spent in renewable energy systems.

The Info Tour has started as an action of concerned people of the Baltic Sea community. The tour will inform people about the facts of uranium energy and radioactive pollution of the Baltic Sea. The tour will activate and emancipate people to take part in the events of the local stops. The Tour will advance active courage both locally and in large social and ecological systems.

All hands on deck!
Immediate Closure of All Nuclear Facilities - Worldwide!


Getting Started

The idea of it arose at the NUCLEAR weekEND in Isnäs (FIN) in October, 2008. A first bigger planning and promotion meeting (Minutes) took place at the Youth Environmental Congress in Frankfurt/Main on 1 January, 2009. On April 17th-19th, 2009 another preparation meeting (Minutes) was organized in Stockholm. A virtual meeting was held on June 13th, 2009 via Skype. The Tour's project was also presented at Nuclear Climate Camp in Tervola, Finland in July 2009 where new poeple joined the project. Another prepartion meeting was held at the Youth Environmental Congress near Hamburg from December 25th, 2009 to January 2nd, 2010 and the next one took place at the International Anti-nuclear Network Meeting on March 25th-29th, 2010 in Helsinki. A "Western Baltic Tour" preparation meeting took place in Greifswald (D) on April 26th-27th, 2010. The last preparation meeting was held in Bonn (D) on May 31st-June 2nd, 2010. The Tour itself takes place in summer 2010 from June 22nd to August 21st.



Follow-ups of the Infotour


Nuclear Baltic Map

One central project within the infotour project will be to create a map showing the locations of all kinds of nuclear activities in the countries around the Baltic Sea and compiling information about them. The idea is to distribute this map and information on the tour. It will also be a helpful tool for planning the tour (route, contacts, issues etc.).

We will use this subpage for gathering and compiling the information.
