International Solar Camp in Cudrefrin!

This year the Camp was combined with the 2nd SG-Skillshare. Besides the construction and installation of two solarplants (one PV and one with thermic absorbers), and a workshop, where volonteers from the YouthSolarProject showed how to construct a simple Solar-LED-Torch, plans were made for 2008 and for the COPMOP on Bali, coming December. Initiating new SG-Groups in countries like Indonesia or Mexico was also on the list.

 
In short: there was a super dynamic, with lots of laughing, solidarity and wild plans and common dreams. During this week the international spirit of SG was clearly felt. Great!!!

After the Camp some of the people went to take part in the Spencer Tunick Event (600 people standing naked on the famous Aletsch-Glacier as a silentt protest against climatechange), others went to join our crew at the 2nd NatureTalentFestival in Liestal. This 100% ecologically organized festival, organized by young people (with the support of GP) for young people, enables them  to present their ideas about a future society, how to tackle environmental challenges, etc. It offers them a platform, where they can present films, cartoons, poetry, posters, etc. to a larger public. All the rest is music, music, music. This year GP also brought the Climbingwall, where one could hang his or her climate-message to the politicians, to really do somethng for our future climate.
