Awareness & Safe(r) Space
Diversity
Our aim at Body Rhythm Festival is to create a safe and joyful space for everyone, regardless of ethnic background, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, physical appearance, (dis)ability or previous experience. We therefore do not tolerate racism, sexism, ableism, ageism, anti-Semitism or any other form of discrimination or abusive behaviour.
Consensus or consent: only yes means yes!
We believe that we share responsibility for the atmosphere, mood and community. Dance, sing and groove wildly, but make sure you give others space and respect their boundaries. Be inclusive and approachable. Act according to the principle of consensus and recognise that boundaries differ from person to person. Actions and physical contact only take place with mutual consent. If you are not sure about something, ask.
Where an assault begins...
... is always determined by the person affected and they have the right to decide how to proceed after the incident. You have the right to feel safe and respected. If you feel harassed or uncomfortable, contact us. If you see that another person needs help or something doesn't seem right: ask or let us know. We take all reports seriously. The perception of the person concerned will not be questioned. You do not have to explain or justify your experience or observation. Solidarity comes first.
You will be asked to agree to the arrangements when you book your ticket.
