<<<PROGRAM>>>

Dear Madam, dear sir, dear friends!
Antiatom Szene has the pleasure to inform you about the upcoming workshop on the campaign

"Nuclear Bank? No Thanks!".

Banks play an important role as major sponsors of the nuclear industry. As with every project, funding is essential for realization of nuclear projects. Preventing bank loans potentially results in nuclear plans being put on hold. Therefore, we have to remind banks of their obligations towards human rights, inform them of the problems that may arise and constructively provide information, but also make them aware that they might be putting their reputation at risk by financing nuclear projects. To raise and increase awareness of the role of nuclear funding among bank management, personnel and customers is an essential and powerful tool.

The Overall aim of the workshop
is to develop a joint campaign that will effectively stop commercial banks from financing nuclear power plants. In order to prevent financial institutions from financing nuclear projects, cross-border alliances and functional networks are important and necessary.
Within this workshop we will look closely at the current situation regarding nuclear projects in Europe, taking into account possible banks providing loans for realization, review and critically assess new concepts, strategies and cross-border actions.

The workshop takes place in the Hotel Ibis in Linz, Austria (across the street from the train station in Linz)

on 30th of March: 10:00-17:30
(open for all registered participants)

&

31st of March: 9:00-17:00
(Internal strategy meeting ‘Nuclear banks-no thanks campaign’ - by invitation only)
