Next media release

• We need topics, main message and the release date
  • Proposals: anti-nuclear camp + the 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 can also use material from the brainstorming on 08/12/2013, selecting events that are in the Baltic Sea region:
  • book/database project;
  • Case Pyhajoki and follow up;
  • results from a Greenpeace expert talk on Monday (maybe);
  • things not yet concretely planned, e.g. info events, exhibitions (photos which were taken in Baltic Sea Info Tour);
  • nuclear lobby events (on website);
  • European anti-nuclear forum in Prague 29 of April 2014;
  • events connected to Fukushima; Chernobyl events (although there is nothing much going on in the region at the moment);
  • 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 (this could possibly be used for media release);
  • anti-nuclear camp in North of Germany next summer => these are only some of the events that are going to happen
• Alternatively, we can prepare a media release with background information only - select a topic, for instance, unranium mining and provide info about it.
• A. could make a draft for the release.
• If we would choose to write about the camp, we would have 2 in 1: advertize the camp and spread the word about atomic threats to the Baltic Sea.
• Official reason for sending out the press release?
  • The press release could be sent out after the next working meeting, however, that would be only in March.
  • Suggestion: we can send one release before the working meeting and another one after it. First release: announcement; second release: more concrete information.
    • Maybe we will have a spontaneous reason for sending it out.
• 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 and then we can discuss it.
  • Sending out: by 16/02/2014.
• We need:
  • translations;
  • quotations;
  • comments on the draft.
  • We should try to have regional context for translations (quotations, events). Regional context should not 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.
