Airport project in Notre-Dame-des-Landes called off!


Against the airport
and its world!

The French government has abandoned the construction of the disputed major airport near Nantes, which had been under discussion for 50 years. The Prime Minister said that if there was such a strong opposition in a region, that literally divided the local population in half, such a project could not be carried out without confrontation (taz).
In other words, farmers, militants and environmentalists have prevented the project. They transformed a “differed development zone” (ZAD = Zone d’Aménagement Différé) to a zone to defend (Zone à défendre) and the people who had settled on the 1600 ha site, call themselves Zadistes.

Our congratulations to all, who made this possible.
But!
The Prime Minister still said something else: “Anyone who is currently illegally occupying land in Notre-Dame-des-Landes must vacate it by spring at the latest.” It may be that the Zadistes will wait to see if this decision really will be implemented. If so, then it might be that more French will be spoken soon on the edge of the Hambach hole.

Skillsharing Camp, Spring 2018 – Save the Date

Soon it will be time again, the Skillsharing Camp in the Hambach Forest, our probably biggest event, is imminent. This year it will be from march 26th until april 08th. Thus it will take place during the Easter holidays of the vast majority of German federal states and in many other European countries. Because also students should have the chance to come (and if you have the misfortune to go to school where the holidays are different, e.g. in Hamburg, you still can skive off¹) 😉
The same applies to the semester break, so for university students.

As always, there will be a lot of workshops and some concerts. If you want to offer a workshop or an artistic contribution yourself, please write to
“skillsharing.hambacherforst@nullriseup.net”.
