  • the winter meeting of the Network will be from March 25th-29th, 2010
  • near Helsinki
    • from March 24th-27th in Metsäpirtty
      • Turaniementie 61, 04370 Rusutjärvi, phone: phone +358 9 2755 430, +358 9 87182218
      • E-Mail: metsapirtti[a]tuusula.fi
      • directions: Bus 640 (Helsinki - Hyrylä - Jokela--Hyvinkää)
        • From Helsinki, bus station in Kamppi, Platform 11, leaves 16:50; Metsäpirtti about 17:38 (Other times available, there goes a bus about 10 times/day from the platform 11)
      • Important: Metsäpirtti has covers, pillows and mattresses for everyone. All attendees need to have with them sheets and pillowcases!
    • from March 27th-29th on Kuusiluoto island in Helsinki
      • It is in the center of Helsinki and accessable by walking 20min from bus stop - amazing place, like in the countryside with own wind turbine, solar power, sheeps and sauna but next to the city! The house and a smaller house can accommodate 20-30 people (and the rest can use tents). We will have four heated rooms - this should be enough space for all participants.
      • As it will probably be cold, good sleeping bags are recommended.

There are interests of the Finnish anti-nuclear activists to use the network meeting to put pressure on the Finnish authorities at the end of March because of the expected decision about the proposal for more new NPPs in Finland. For this reason there was the idea to add a further day to the meeting to do some actions. So we will have a 5-days event including four days of meeting and one day for action.

Another important issue is also the pressure of companies like the French Areva to mine uranium in several countries. People from several groups will exchange their knwolegde about the threats of these nuclear activities and will inform about projects to raise the public awareness about these issues.

An important project to be discussed for the summer will be the „Baltic Sea Info Tour“ that will take place to inform people around the Baltic Sea about the pollution of this water body and to connect concerned people with each other.


Schedule of the Meeting

new proposed workshops:

  • preparation meeting for the Baltic Sea Info Tour
  • presentation about some issues of analysis and strategy for antinuclear movements
    • basically i want to pick out some selected points of interest from this text: http://theanarchistlibrary.org/strange-victories-%E2%80%94-midnight-notes
    • i basically want to pick out the things that i think are still relevant today, and also strengthen awareness of earlier analysis and history within the antinuclear movement
    • it would be good to have this presentation any time before this: March 26th, 04.00 pm: Brainstorming about future activities
