8) Awarenessconcept
The festival should be a place where everyone feels comfortable. We do not tolerate any discrimination, assaults or harassment. Be nice to each other and respect individual boundaries.
What is awareness?
Awareness means attention and consciousness. For us, this includes questioning our own privileges and acting prudently. In doing so, we orientate ourselves towards the needs, boundaries and perceptions of others. It is important to be open to new perspectives and to broaden our own horizons through dialogue with others.
Therefore, the following rules apply at our festival:
– Your boundaries are individual, just like those of others. Therefore, respect the boundaries of your fellow human beings and ask!
– We act according to the principle „only yes means yes!“, no always means no! „Maybe“ or remaining silent does not mean yes.
– We do not tolerate discrimination based on gender identity, social background, sexual orientation, religion, ideology, disability or age
– If you feel able to do so, you can also show solidarity and stand by those affected, even together with others. Discrimination concerns us all!
– We reserve the right to exercise our domiciliary rights and exclude people from the event who do not adhere to our principles.
Are you concerned about something?
Are you experiencing discrimination?
Someone around you needs support?
Do you need a safe place?
You feel threatened or (sexually) harassed?
Are you experiencing or observing an assaultive situation?
Come to the Safer Space or speak to the Awareness Team. You can recognize them by their purple vests. You can also contact the awareness team using the button in the app and share your location if you or someone else urgently needs help.
We understand awareness as a continuous process of reflection, learning and unlearning. If you have any suggestions or if something is missing, please let us know! Either by email at kontakt@oben-air or contact us directly at our awareness stand at the festival.
10) Can I take part in OBEN OHNE myself?
