Next media release

 * We discussed topics, main message and release dates
 * Proposals: anti-nuclear camp + network meeting: activists are motivated to get organized; international camp; skills training and preparation of further events
 * 09-16/08/2014 camp
 * 04-08/08/2014 network meeting
 * We also had a brainstorming on 08/12/2013, selecting events in the Baltic Sea region:
 * book/database project;
 * Case Pyhajoki and follow up;
 * results from Greenpeace expert talk on Monday;
 * things so far not concretely planned yet, e.g. info events, exhibition (photos taken in Baltic Sea Info Tour);
 * nuclear lobby events;
 * European anti-nuclear forum in Prague 29 of April 2014;
 * events connected to Fukushima; Chernobyl events;
 * Ostrovets NPP - Austrian researchers study flexRISK shows that most of Europe would suffer in case of catastrophy in Ostrovets;
 * COP;
 * nuclear updates from Finland regarding uranium mining issues;
 * anti-nuclear camp in North of Germany next summer => these are only some of the events that are going to happen
 * Alternatively, we could provide a media release with background information only - for instance on uranium mining
 * A. will make a draft for the release
 * choosing the camp as main topic includes 2 in 1: advertising the camp and spread the word about atomic threats to the Baltic Sea
 * clarifying newsworthy cause for sending out the press release at this point of time
 * it could be sent out after the next working meeting, however, that would be only in March
 * suggestion: send one release before the working meeting and another one after it. First release: announcement; second release: more concrete information
 * possibly a spontaneous cause would arise
 * if we make only one press release, it should be sent out before the next working meeting
 * proposals for the text by 09/02/2014
 * A. will make the first proposal to be discussed
 * sending out: by 16/02/2014
 * practical arrangements
 * translations;
 * quotations;
 * comments on the draft
 * we should have regional context for local press releases (translations) - quotations, events. Regional context does not have to be camp related and local media releases should be extracts of the bigger international one.
 * A. will send the invitation for the next media conference
