Nuclear power? No thank you! We are fighting for a world without nuclear energy.

@AntiAtomNetzTrier
We, #AntiAtom #AntiAKW moving people from #Trier and the surrounding area, are committed to the decommissioning of all nuclear plants and an ecological #Energiewende (decentralized and democratic, i.e. in the hands of citizens!). We oppose the French repository project #Bure in Lorraine with the resistance house #BureZoneLibre and for the closure of the #AKW #Cattenom. In addition, we support the switch to #Ökostrom|providers without #Atom or #Kohle|corporations as well as to corresponding banks.

And a local historian who I often chatted with has just appeared on screen in the programme. I spent a year 2003-4 working half time as a #ResearchAssistant on Bob Harris’s Small Towns project. And a huge part of my job was spent researching in the #Angus #Archives, which at that time was located in the top floor of #Montrose Library. #UrbanHistory #HistoricalResearch #DundeeUniversity #ScottishHistory #ScottishTowns #Towns #AngusArchives

Começa amanhã, em Castelo de Vide, o colóquio "O Mundo Urbano em Rede", centrado nas relações estabelecidas entre pequenas, médias e grandes cidades e o o lugar que as pequenas cidades ocupam/ocuparam nos fenómenos de inter-conexão.
