Revision as of 13:34, 16 February 2012

Every biketour has a kick start with a wintermeeting. This year, mainly because already from last year wintermeeting there was already a good planing start for this biketour (and EVS process), the meeting is quite late, and the two EVS volunteers (Alice and Taborda) are already in barcelona and the route is already partially thought through.

This meeting is still very important, as we will have time to discuss strategies, objectives and decisions about the future of biketour. Of course we will also discuss how to accomplish making this biketour a good, and participatory, tour.

The main biketour discussions will take place on Sunday and Monday. There is lots of work to do on Can Decreix so we will spend Saturday doing practical work and there will also be a agroecological workshop.

Location

The wintermeeting will be held in Can Decreix (the house of degrowth) which is located here, in Cerbère near the catalonia/france border.

It's easy to get to as it's right next to the train station in Cerbère it can also help to start making connections with french groups and activists.

You can find more information about Can Decreix here and here (both articles in Catalan). Lots of work has been done recently, see the photos here.

We still have a lot of work to do in this new space where it is possible to live carfree in the countryside, it is a place to experiment with ecological lifestyles and have time to think and organise activist events. It could potentially become a staging for friends of the ecotopia biketour, with possibilities to develop a bike workshop, activities around alternative energies and agroecology.
