Aims
At Klimacamp 2010 we want to deal in detail with the important issues of our time.
We want to form an opinion, take a stand and make ourselves heard. Our aim is to show that a high quality of life doesn’t necessarily depend on a high use of natural ressources. We are going to live in a free, frisky and fertile way – at a place where life soon won’t be welcome any more.
The camp is based on four core elements:
Workshops, Seminars, Discussions
At the Klimacamp we take time to deal with important topics: climate change in a global context, coal mining and its impacts on nature and society, energy supply of the future. Lectures, discussions, workshops will not only help you to get an overview in the maze of information, but enable you to find your own point of view in all that; and together we will tackle the vital issue: what can WE do?
Participation and political protest
Climate Policy is everybody’s business! Therefore, the camp emphasizes our right to have a say in the matter. On Saturday, 28th of August, there will be a public action, to which we will invite other climate groups and anti-coal movements, too. Of course, you will also find participation on the camp itself: programme, structures and rules are not imposed on you from “above”, but shaped by everybody for everybody.
Sustainable life style
Organic food, bicyle-driven generators, solar cookers are an important element of the climate camp. We want to use as few natural ressources as possible, and show that many luxury items and life-style habits are not so important at all. No matter if you are cyling around the coal pit, if you are dancing along off-grid music or if you are eating your solar cooked meal with regional ingredients – you will be inspired to live in sustainable way even after the camp.
Networking
Last but not least, Klimacamp means to get to know interesting people who maintain a critical position towards certain trends in politics and society. There will be loads of opportunities to have exciting discussions, get in touch with like-minded groups or plan the next action together: not only during the workshops, but while hanging out in the camp café, while drumming around the camp fire or while learning how to juggle …
Come and take part – we look forward to meeting you!
