Welcome to the wiki of the Ecotopia Biketour 2013!

(nb: to edit the wiki, you need to login with your account. if you dont have one, you make it here)

This is the Ecotopia Biketour Wiki. It provides us with detailed and internal practical information. All past and future participants are invited to work in this wiki in order to facilitate the planning and co-ordination of our tour.

This is not the website for general info on the biketour! If you want to get a first overview or read stories from past years, go to our primary website: [1]

• You can learn on How to edit Wiki for contributing here

If you already know about the Biketour and want to get stuck into the information for this years tour you can skip to Biketour 2013: To learn about Biketour history click here.

!!!DATA REMINDER!!! This Wiki is a public space on the net. Be sensitive and responsible with the data you provide here. Think twice whether you, someone else or even groups/projects might have a problem (later) with information being posted here. Keep in mind that openness about information is a different thing from person to person and place to place and that unconscious handling of information can lead to problems later.

Back Information

Here is some basic info on EBT from our main webiste...:

Organizing Ecotopia Biketour

This is a self-organized tour!

No club, no NGO, no political party. Just some people following an idea - since 1990!

On these pages is how you can join Biketour 2013 and take part in its organisation - see how far we got already and where u can help!

There is also an explanation on what bt is and how to organise biketour and collected some nice ideas about improving BT.

Two transnational coordinators are working in Berlin during the months before the biketour. They don't take major decisions, but bear responsibility to keep the information together and its flows alive - you can contact them at info@ecotopiabiketour.net

Tasks

There is lots to be done :) Here are smaller areas of the project, where u could be the right person to take responsibility:

• coordinating a bit of the route (regional co-ordinators are wanted who speak the local language, can help find sleeping/cooking places, plan the route & find suitable maps for that region, have the overview of actions along the route. See more here: Checklist for national/local organisers)
• take care of our outreach during the tour: flyer, poster, website content, prepare an action, prepare a theatre piece, prepare workshop to be given to the tour members or to the public
• coordinate the outreach for participants and organizers
• maintain the website
• style/design leaflets, posters...
• raise funds
• take care about visas
• help overall coordination
• be the backup office when we are on tour
• presswork - in your own country and international contacts
• spread the word on the internet through using free software and uncommercial services as much as possible
• Translate documents
• Translate key texts to key-languages (e.g. German, and Eastern Europe in 2013) and other languages
• The wiki pages need to be updated, cleaned out and ordered continuously!!!!!
