Our festival should be a place where everyone can feel welcome, safe and respected. For us, this means: mindfulness in dealing with each other, clear boundaries, respectful interaction - on and off the stage.
what is important to us
- We do not tolerate any form of discrimination, harassment or violence - be it physical, verbal or non-verbal. Racism, sexism, queerophobia, ableism, body shaming or any other form of exclusionary behavior have no place with us.
- Look instead of looking away. If you feel uncomfortable, observe something that is not right, or simply need someone to talk to - please contact the festival pastoral care of the church contribution office near Viaduktbogen 72.
- Responsible alcohol consumption is also important to us. Enjoy the festival - but be aware of your limits and those of others. If someone needs help, help - or get help. You will find the Red Cross operations centers at the trade fair and in the Bürgergarten between the BFI and Uniqua Versicherung.
what you can do
- Pay attention to your own well-being - and that of the people around you.
- Ask before you take photos or film.
- Respect personal boundaries.
- Act in solidarity, not abusively.
- Intervene if someone else is not feeling well - or get help.
Together we will make the festival a place where everyone can feel comfortable.
