 * special method for exchange and getting to know each other, e.g. whisper rounds
 * we will translate the English call-out into German and Russian and spread it via internet
 * if available English lectures/workshops offered in the camp shall be mentioned
 * we want to publish a new media release to promote the camp internationally again a few weeks before it starts (see media group meeting)
 * we will update and extend the camp page on the Nuclear Heritage Network website
 * we raised some questions to the camp organizers concerning international guests:
 * what supporting opportunities are provided by organizers (e.g. regarding visa, travel costs, ...)
 * will there be special legal support for international participants, too? (English speaking legal team, multilingual legal information, information specifically on legal aspects for foreigners)
 * shall there be a special contact address (we?) for international participants, or shall the general contact address of the camp be used?
 * preparation of next working meeting in September: May 9, 2014 at 9.30 AM
