Stories of the un-silenced and merch contests: The "Speaking up is gold" hub brings vital conversations to Pohoda

Amid the concerts and festival buzz at Pohoda, you will also find spaces dedicated to opening up crucial social topics. One of them is the Whistleblower Protection Office hub, presenting their powerful message "Speaking up is gold" (Nemlčať je zlato). As an independent state institution, the office fights deep-rooted stereotypes and promotes a culture of speaking up for a fairer society.

Inside their zone, you can explore a moving photo exhibition of Slovak whistleblowers who stood up against wrongdoing. The program also features insightful quizzes, discussions with the office staff, and the premiere of brand-new videos illustrating how workplace protection legally works.

Stop by, join the activities, and test your knowledge. This year, you can win their legendary "Nemlčať je zlato" hoodies, t-shirts, and tank tops, alongside practical thermal mugs, phone straps, or tote bags. Discover why speaking up truly matters.
