Eclipse Live today announced that it has partnered with Jameson and Chisco to launch a Park and Ride scheme for the Gidi Culture festival, set to take place at Elegushi private beach on Sunday 2nd March, 2014.

The Park ‘n’ Ride initiative, operated by Eclipse Live in association with Jameson and Chsico can be used by festival goers who wish to park their cars and travel into the festival on the special shuttle buses which will be available on the day. Buses will run frequently, picking up travellers from centrally located designated pick up points at Ozone and Unilag as well as parking locations in CMS and Ruby Gardens.

The Park ‘n’ Ride initiative aims to reduce the dangers of drink driving and encourage festival goers to use this safe option. ‘ The Drink Safely’ campaign launched by Eclipse Live aims to promote responsible drinking through out its events, ensuring that the safety of its visitors is top priority. According to the 2012 federal road safety report, over 4,260 people die each month as a result of road accidents with drink driving a major cause of this menace.

The initiative aids stress free movement in and around the festival ensuring a free flow of movement for visitors. The Park ‘n’ Ride scheme also provides a hassle free-way for visitors to get into the festival, helping to reduce congestion around the site and alleviating some of the pressure on the car parks.

The organisers of the festival have made it their mission to provide live, affordable entertainment within a safe environment and to achieve this, security firm, K-Squared have been hired as the official security partner for the festival. Police members from The Nigerian Police Force will be deployed to the festival site for added security around the venue.

We want our visitors to have a good time, in a safe and secure environment and to ensure that this is possible, we have enlisted the help of reputable security agencies within Nigeria”. said Teme Banigo, Eclipse Live founder.

Students with a valid student I.D will be able to travel free on the Park ‘n’ Ride shuttle buses. Concession tickets will also be available for Park ‘n’ Ride travellers.

Eclipse Live has announced that ‘The Dreams Project’, its youth driven employment initiative will take effect from today. The project, which was borne out of the passion to empower the youth of Nigeria, with the primary aim of connecting them through the universal language of music.

The project will open up career opportunities within the entertainment industry, placing a strong focus on ancillary roles as apposed to just artistry.

The Dreams Project activity kicked off last month with a school visit to The Apostolic Grammar School where the team spoke to future ‘Dreamers’ about the importance of education.

‘Education is a powerful tool in terms of youth empowerment. The ability to articulate and voice out your opinion goes a long way in being heard’ said Chin Okeke, Eclipse Live founder.

The Dreams Project will commence with an open application process, which aims to attract top quality job seekers with a hunger and passion to succeed in the entertainment industry. Prospective candidates will be able to register online, after which a total of 150 candidates will be shortlisted to attend The Dreams work shop.

The Dreams workshop is a one day seminar which provides attendees with the rare opportunity to gain insight and knowledge from renowned industry professionals who will be at hand to provide top tips and pointers on how to succeed in the industry. Break-out sessions will encourage participation in multiple sessions for candidates who are interested in more than one sector.

Based on performance and career interest, candidates who are interested in gaining industry experience will be given the opportunity to transition unto the volunteer scheme with the much anticipated Gidi Culture Festival; where a team of young and fun creatives will be at hand to serve as mentors.

The Dreams Project promises to be a truly rewarding experience. Following a successful volunteer placement, top performers will be recommended for a three month internship with one of our institutional partners in the entertainment sector with the potential of a permanent role.

So if you have always dreamt of working in the entertainment industry, this is just the opportunity to get involved. The opportunity to kickstart your career starts with a click, so visit www.dreamsproject.org to take the step towards a flourishing career!

Everyone who attends the day work shop will receive a free ticket to attend the biggest beach festival of the year with a line up that boasts some of Nigeria’s hottest acts.
