Awareness
Self-conception
In order to create safer spaces for everyone, we, as the Awareness Team, want to actively raise awareness of discrimination and of our own and others' boundaries, working in a affected-person-centered way. It is not about being a "party police," but about lowering the barriers for those affected and offering them support. The power of definition always lies with those affected. An individual defines for themselves when and what form of violence or discrimination they have experienced. Their experience and point of view will be taken seriously, believed, and not questioned. Even if no boundary-crossing situation has occurred, you can still approach the Awareness Team if you're feeling unwell or need support, and together we'll find a solution.
Accessibility
You can recognize us by our purple safety vests and, at night, by our pink glow bands. We operate during the main nighttime hours (7:00 PM – 8:00 AM) as a mobile Awareness Team consisting of two to four people, working in pairs, moving around the site between the stages, the info point, and the safer space. During the daytime (8:00 AM – 7:00 PM), there will be a passive Awareness Person available, who can also be reached via radio/Funk or through the SOS buttons at the bar and at the Infopoint. If you can't find us directly, you can always approach other members of the team, who will connect you with the Awareness Team. You don't need to explain what happened right away. Simply say that you would like to get in touch with the Awareness Team. Don't hesitate to use these options if you need support. At the centrally located Infopoint, you will find information about safer use, awareness, and counseling services. The Infopoint will sometimes be staffed by members of our team. There you can also leave us anonymous feedback, which helps us to continually improve our awareness work. Sometimes stressful experiences only become clear in retrospect. You can also reach us after the event via our confidential Awareness email address awareness@kleinundhaarig.de to provide feedback. You will find a Safer Space on the festival site, where you can get support if needed, or simply retreat if everything becomes too overwhelming for you. Please note: The Safer Space is explicitly not a chill area – you will find other places for that on the grounds. At the event, we will also be supported by a team of paramedics, who are professionally trained to provide first aid and medical care in cases of injuries or other emergencies.
