Linda Hayden writes:
Action Against Sexual Violence Ireland (AASVI) are looking to team up with a sponsor to launch a visibility campaign around consent at Electric Picnic this year.
It would be a collaboration to raise awareness and normalise consent in environments that are statistically proven to have high volumes of sexual assault. Generally minor cases but also major instances too.
If we can empower people to be consent positive then it will be a step towards combating the levels of sexual violence that occur at events such as festivals, concerts etc.
AASVI’s campaign will consist of:
1. A stall with volunteers capable of starting conversations to normalise conversations around consent
2. Stickers with friendly marketing focused on normalising consent
3. Sign up sheets to a leaflet with consent education pieces attached.
If your company would like to partner with us to help make events like Electric Picnic safer, and more enjoyable for everyone, please contact us at chair@aasvireland.ie.

Bliain na Gaeilge and Festival Republic are delighted to announce that they will be collaborating on some special feature events at Electric Picnic 2018 in Stradbally, Co. Laois, 31st August – 2nd September.

There will be space provided for two hundred people in this designated camping area, in which Irish will be the common language of the residents.
Tickets for Electric Picnic 2018 are sold out, but those who have already purchased tickets will be able to stay in this new designated Irish language camping space.
Because of limited spaces, campers will have to register to stay in ‘An Ghaeltacht’ beforehand, at electricpicnic.ie. Applications will open for ticketholders at 10am. tomorrow, Tuesday July 24.

Ian Bailey, is to make an exclusive appearance with a public interview with at the Hot Press Chatroom at Electric Picnic.
Bailey was arrested twice in relation to the 1996 murder of French film producer Sophie Toscan du Plantier, however he has never been charged and has always strongly protested his innocence.
Appearing at the Hot Press Chatroom at 2pm on Saturday, September 2 Bailey will be interviewed by Hot Press journalist Olaf Tyaransen, in a conversation that will offer an absolutely fascinating insight into one of the most debated cases in modern Irish history.
Earlier this year, Tyaransen carried out a comprehensive interview with Bailey in Hot Press, which laid bare the toll the case has taken on his life. You can read the article in full at the link below.

Will you be there Saturday afternoon?
Maybe stop by the Leviathan tent and meet Ghias and Razan, from Syria.
Amnesty International Ireland writes:
As Europe drags its heels on providing solutions to move refugees and asylum-seekers from Greece, thousands of men, women and children are living in filthy unsafe warehouses or tents, or sleeping rough under the relentless summer heat.
At Electric Picnic 2016, Amnesty International is raising awareness of the plight of refugees and asking festival-goers to join our campaign for change.
Amnesty Hour at Leviathan will highlight the experiences of Razan Ibraheem and Ghias Aljundi, both originally from Syria now living in Ireland and the UK.
When Razan came to Ireland to study in 2011, she never imagined that brutal conflict would mean she could not return home to Syria. She recently returned from volunteering on the Greek island of Samos.
“The hardest thing about being a refugee is when people make you feel unwanted,” Ghias says. He was imprisoned for four years and tortured for his journalism and human rights work, before fleeing to the UK in 1999. Today, he volunteers to help refugees arriving in Greece. He never expected that one day he would help rescue his own family.
Today, Europe is facing the biggest refugee and migrant crisis since the Second World War. Join us for Amnesty Hour at Leviathan to hear these powerful personal stories and to learn about how you can be part of our campaign for change.
Amnesty will be collecting signatures calling on the Greek Government to act swiftly to improve their living conditions and wellbeing.
Festival-goers will also have an opportunity to participate in our thumbprint action. Fingerprinting is the method used to identify asylum-seekers and migrants within the EU. Often, people are forced to giving fingerprints without their consent.
Amnesty International has found cases were children as young as three were forced to give their finger print as ‘proof’ of their consent to be returned from Turkey to Syria.
To express solidarity with refugees we are building a two-metre solidarity wall where festival-goers can leave their own thumbprint.
Join us for Amnesty Hour at Leviathan, at 3.45pm on Saturday September 3rd. Or follow the conversation online using the hashtag #IWelcome refugees.
