Number of participants: minimum of eight participants / maximum of 24 participants
Price: 20 € p.P. including lunch (with „climate-friendly" ingredients from the region!)
The tour leads you to the following places:
- The viewpoint of the open cast mining: Cottbus-Nord and the devastated village Lacoma which show the impact of coal mining
- Atterwasch: where you will see practical examples of renewable energy sources, organised municipally or privately operated (Atterwasch is a village threatened to be removed with the excavator)
- The solar power plant Lieberoser Heide – where energy is gained from the sun
- And we will also give you some information about the Energy Strategy 2020 and its importance for the sustainable development of the Lausitz
The lowering of ground water caused by mining and its influence on the regional small lakes
Martin Dotzauer
The Workshop starts on Sunday, 07 August and will run for several days.
In this workshop we will examine the four lakes which lie within the catchment area of the open pit and which have been constantly shrinking in the last 30 years. First, we will deal with some theoretical fundamentals of geology, the „open pit mining" of coal and the regional water balance. Second, we will roughly map the four lakes to illustrate how much the water level and the water surface level have dropped in the recent years. Finally, the results will be presented in a small summary.
If you have a bike and if you are interested in practical environmental research, then you can join us. The workshop will be on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. But if you only want to take part on one day that's fine with me!

Cooking and baking with the sun – building your own solar oven
Bettina
Monday, 08 August and Tuesday, 09 August, 11:00 am – 2:30 pm
A solar oven looks like a wooden box from the outside. When you open the lid and the sun rays get into the glass box, you can bake and cook like you bake and cook with a normal oven at about 150 ° C. A solar oven can be built relatively easily with inexpensive, recycled materials and simple tools.
Two days are needed for the construction of a furnace, about four people can participate.

Anti-nuclear movement
Tim Nießner, RSB
Tuesday 09 August 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm
In Germany more and more people are against the use of atomic energy. All the opinion polls show this very clearly. And the people are also willing to take their protest out on the street. The anti-nuclear power protest has grown a lot in recent years and was able to mobilize more and more people. It seems like the government is under great pressure and the politicians of the parties supporting nuclear energy are just talking nonsense.
Productivism and capitalism
Jan Weiser, RSB
Tuesday 09 August 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
„The catastrophe is not what will be but what is there already" (The upcoming revolt). Why do they praise expensive risk technologies as a solution to the ecological crisis? Because „green capitalism" is about to establish itself.

Possible topics during this workshop are:
- plans for the constructions of new nuclear power plants in Poland and resistance of the Anarchist federation Poland
- Anti-nucleae struggles in Belarus
- Report from Berlin
- Plans for a networking meet-up
Languages: English (translation will be organized as needed)

Democratize energy!
Public utilities, citizen-owned wind farms and energy co-operatives? Participatory models for the future of energy
Mona Bricke, gegenstrom berlin
Stefan Taschner
Wed, 10 August 11:00 am – 12:30 pm
Municipal utilities are among the pioneers of decentralized energy supply which is ecologically reasonable and serves climate protection. At the same time there is also the tendency of many public utilities to participate in e.g. coal-fired power plants to take action against the market dominance of the big four energy suppliers and also to earn money with these investments. In the workshop we will present examples and discuss whether and how the municipal utilities can be successfully brought on the right track – or whether we should rather focus on other, participatory models of energy supply.
Kyoto, Kopenhagen & Co.
An introduction to the international climate policy
Bernd Brouns, gegenstrom berlin
Wednesday 10 August 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
„The Kyoto Protocol is dead," the former head of the UN Climate Change Secretariat, Yvo de Boer, announced in June 2011. Nearly two years after the big failure of the climate summit in Copenhagen, international climate diplomacy has become deadlocked. What has brought us to the situation we are in today? In the workshop we will review the last twenty years of the UN's climate policy: what are the items in the Kyoto Protocol? What have been the issues of the UN climate negotiations in recent years? What can we expect from the climate summit in Durban, South Africa at the end of the year?
CCS and international climate policy
Timmo Krüger, KlimaGerechtigkeit Leipzig
Wednesday 10 August 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm
In this workshop we want to find out what are the obstacles that restrain a radical transformation of the societal relationship with nature. There will be first a critical introduction to the flexible mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol which are associated with the concept of ecological modernization. Finally, the hypothesis is argued that carbon capture and storage (CCS) plays a key role with respect to the stabilization of ecological modernization, and therefore is also important for the debate over the necessity of the transformation of the societal relationship with nature.

The global movement for climate justice: obituary or outlook?
Tadzio Mueller, gegenstrom berlin / CJA
Wednesday 10 August 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
A few years ago many of us celebrated the emerging global movement for climate justice as a new glimmer of hope. The summit protests in Copenhagen were supposed to initiate a political movement a la Seattle. What is the situation today? In this workshop we want to find out the strengths and weaknesses of the political movement and try to find an answer to the question: Where are the potentials of climate justice?

Agro fuels – deforestation and violations of human rights
Peter Gerhardt, ROBIN WOOD
Thursday 11 August 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
VW, Daimler, BMW and Co. lead us into the climate catastrophe with their gas guzzlers. The automobile manufactures argue that this does not have to be the case because now there is the alternative biofuel. But we think that agro fuel in car tanks is the dumbest solution to our future mobility.

Big Theatre Night "Machwerk oder das Schichtbuch des Flick von Lauchhammer"
Thursday 11 August 8:00 pm
A musical staged reading
It tells the tragicomic anecdotes about a man of action who does not own a factory anymore, but he has got a helmet, snap hooks and work pants: Flick of Lauchhammer. Released at the age of 60, he walks into the office of Windisch's wife and asks: Where's the fire? Volker Braun sends his Don Quichote of the Lower Lausitz into the different working world of the 21st Century. In the end, he stands in Neutrebbin Oderbruch at the borehole, where the CO2 is dumped …

System conflict: Why renewable energy and coal power plants do not fit together
Jürgen Quentin, German Environmental Aid
Friday 12 August 11:00 am – 12:30 pm
Besides using renewable energy Brandenburg still continues to focus on coal electricity. The feeding of large amounts of flexibly changing green electricity into the public power network has priority by law. This requires highly flexible power plants that can quickly respond to a fluctuating demand for electricity. Coal power plants are not able to do so – for technical and economic reasons. The lack of flexibility of these base load power plants is forcing the operators of e.g. wind farms to reduce their production in windy periods. This conflict between renewable energy and inflexible base load power plants will worsen significantly in the coming years as the share of renewable energy will be more than doubled by 2020. In the electricity system of the future, there is no coexistence of traditional electricity production based on coal and nuclear energy and the electricity production based on wind, solar power, bioenergy, hydropower and geothermal energy. The question will be either traditional energy or renewable energy: for the further dynamic development of renewable energy and large quantities of inflexible coal and nuclear power supplies are mutually exclusive.

Eco-socialism – it's possible
Klaus Engert, RSB
Saturday 13 August 11:00 am – 12:30 pm
For a capitalist industrial society, sustainability is poison. The countries of the so-called „real socialism" can also be not a role model, because the environmental degradation in these countries was not different from the one in the capitalist world. So we need an alternative: eco-socialism.
