Hello world wide balers

It has been a grey and windy November this year, but now that we have
December, we all can look forward to some nice and warm family time with
Christmas and New Year

Nice and warm are also two wonderful words to describe the networking in the
SB world, so see this list of results of the ESBG 2009 as a small and early
Christmas gift

Enjoy the reading, watching and listening
 we, Europeans, like to share some
magical moments with you all!

ESBG 2009 information and results

ESBG 2009: information and results 

workshops > lectures > discussion groups > brainstorming > networking 

List of European national networkers

*	As a result of the working group ‘European networking’ there has
been composed a list with national networkers throughout Europe. 
*	Aim is to reach straw balers all over Europe through the national
networkers of this list - or if you have something to tell to everyone you
can contact these national networkers and they will pass it on to their
national contacts 
*	Follow
<http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ast9SgPwgMetdGI5ei05a0lEU1FfNHVYVUR

New European website  

*	As a result of the working group 'European website' came the spirit
that it would be good to have such a common website on European level to
share our knowledge, our experiences, our events, information, to do
networking and to spread this all over Europe... 
*	Nora of Czech Republic/England found in this meeting some new ESBG
volunteers to help her with the programming of the website - Nora had
already started with a structure and with ideas and now the lay out and the
design has almost been worked out 
*	They soon will launch this brand-new ESBG-family site, you all will
be informed when it is ready and on the air, so keep the champagne cold! 

The Leonardo partnership project

*	Several European countries have gathered their engagement in a
European funding program - for the next two years they will regularly meet
to work together - mainly on 2 topics: 

*	Topic 1: setting up an overview on the state of the art of SB in
Europe to come to general standards and certifications useful in whole
Europe - how can we bring these SB standards into the common building codes
in the national countries? 
*	Topic 2: gathering experiences of existing SB courses and workshops
in Europe and with this information working on a educational program to
train SB for self builders but also for building contractors - how can we
introduce a worked out SB curriculum into the national educational system? 

*	The partner countries for this Leonardo project are: Germany,
France, Belgium, Spain, Slovakia and in fact also England as a silent
partner European balers will be posted on the work and the results of this
group through the national networkers and through the European website. 

Links to some films of the ESBG

*	 <http://www.l1.nl/L1NWS/_rp_links4_elementId/1_4109216> a nice
ESBG-reportage of the Dutch local television broadcasting company L1.nl 

*	it is in Dutch, so you won’t understand much, but we are telling the
usual stuff about Strawbale building and Gigi is explaining what the ESBG is
about – the film gives a good view of the atmosphere at the ESBG 

*	ESBG-film made by ESBG participant Heidi Snel of Ökofilm- Germany : 

*	You can find it in Youtube under “ESBG 2009” or
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEOhPQw8udM> here  -  very nice film with a
lot of SB spirit! 
*	the film gives also a good view of the atmosphere at the ESBG 

*	ESBG-film made by ESBG participant Michal Napierzynski of Ananda
Creation – Poland 

*	You can find the link here:     <http://vimeo.com/7725935>
http://vimeo.com/7725935   
*	It is a warm film with special and well known European SB networkers
talking – you get such a nice summary of the program of the ESBG and of the
ideas and visions of European SB Community – this film is a terrific tool
for all the different European SB organisations to promote SB in their
country!

ESBG-harvest

*	several straw balers shared their knowledge and experiences with the
ESBG group by giving demonstrations, workshops, lectures and this happened
during the whole ESBG - the result is a real harvest of useful information

*	many of these speakers have already given us their presentations,
this material will be gathered in a structural way on the new European
website, so its premiere will be a real harvest-feast! 

ESBG 2011

*	The 'next gathering group' has as goal to help facilitate the
election of the host country for the next gathering ESBG 2011
*	Czech Republic and France are the running candidates for the ESBG
2011- at the beginning of  next year we will know more.  .
