Hi friends! On the 21st of June 2010, a group of activists has gathered in Mariehamn on the Aland island between Sweden and Finland to start the anti-nuclear "Baltic Sea Info Tour". For the next two month they will travel about 6,000 kilometers around the Baltic Sea to raise the awareness about the nuclear threats to this inland sea which is the most radioactive sea in the world. In 13 cities the info-tour will have stops and gather with local activists and organizations to educate about the risks of nuclear power, to do street actions and to develop the international networks of anti-nuclear activists around the Baltic Sea.
You are invited to join the tour! You can travel the whole tour or join for certain parts. If you could make it only to single events during the infotour, it would also be great to meet you in some information events, on the streets or in the regional network gatherings that will be organized together with the local partners. Food and accommodation will be free or on the basis of donations for our participants. If you can't afford your travel costs, the possibilities to cover these expenses can be figured out for you. - Anyway, please announce yourself as early as possible to help to plan the activities and to arrange food and accommodation for everyone. At each stop a different programme of activities has been organized by local activists. They have decided which topics are the most important ones for them right now, thus the tour will have information events focussing on certain nuclear facilities, on nuclear waste issues, on the general topic of the radiation in the Baltic Sea, on action methods for anti-nuclear resistance and several other topics. One goal of the infotour is to support the work of the local anti-nuclear movements by appearance in these places. Basically a group of international guests will draw media attention and helps to get public awareness for the local nuclear issues the activists in these places are dealing with. Another aim is to strengthen and develop the networks between anti-nuclear activists - as well between local groups as on an international level. We will exchange plans for later anti-nuclear activities and work on the preparation of these cooperative projects. Organizing such a big project already created contacts and thus we could already make some experiences with each other. To reach more activists and to structure the later cooperation activities we are inviting groups and individuals widely to join the regional networking gatherings. Please consider to attend the ones that are closer to you. This is a list of the first network gatherings during the infotour: * Mariehamn (Finland): June 23 at 9 AM at "Uncan" in Mariehamn * Loviisa/Isnas (FIN): June 27 at 2 PM at "Kaarnaranta" in Isnas * Helsinki (FIN): June 30 at 2.30 PM at the Social Center in Helsinki Find out more about the later networking gatherings and other events at the 13 local stops of the infotour on our website: http://baltic-tour.nuclear-heritage.net Each stop has a specific webpage with detail information about the activities there, the nuclear context there, contact information and requirements for your participation.
