We are all responsible for ensuring the smooth running of our festival. Hadra Trance Festival must remain free from all forms of oppression—a space for sharing, conviviality, and friendship, where every festivalgoer feels safe and welcome.
Nous nous engageons à offrir un espace où chaque personne se sent accueillie et respectée. Grâce à des initiatives de prévention et de réduction des risques, nous veillons à ce que chacun puisse profiter pleinement de la fête en toute sérénité.
We are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels respected and included. Through prevention initiatives and harm reduction strategies, we work to ensure that everyone can fully enjoy the festival in a secure and serene atmosphere.
We invite everyone to look out for one another, among friends and even among strangers, fostering tolerance and respect for each other’s differences. Hadra Trance Festival condemns any inappropriate behavior and all forms of discrimination—we must do everything to ensure that everyone feels safe in a caring and welcoming space.

ABOUT CHOSEN MIXITY & FESTIVAL VALUES
This space exists because we recognize the systemic violence that affects women and gender minorities. Our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable space for those who need it.
At Hadra, we respect self-determination and gender identity. We do not ask for gender identity confirmation on the registration form or upon wristband collection. However, you may receive a confirmation email regarding your registration.
We ask all campers to respect the principles of inclusivity and support, even if they do not fully understand each other’s experiences. Please do not question the legitimacy of others in this space.
🤝 If you have any doubts or questions, you are welcome to speak with the “Serein.e.s” support team.
🛑 No space is entirely free from oppression. If you feel uncomfortable or experience any form of violence—even within Inaya Camping—please reach out to the Serein.e.s team for support.
📍 For more information or to register, visit the Inaya Refuge during the festival.
A collective dedicated to support, awareness, and protection in festival spaces, ensuring safety and inclusivity for all.
PREVENTION & PROTECTION IN FESTIVAL SETTINGS
Harm reduction (HR) and prevention strategies are key to ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. HR involves minimizing potential risks at festivals—not just those related to substance use but also road safety, gender-based and sexual violence (GBSV), and noise exposure.
We remind you that prolonged exposure to high noise levels can be harmful to your health. To protect festivalgoers:
🔹 Free disposable earplugs are available at the prevention booth and the Hadra stand.
🔹 Proper earplug use is essential—incorrect usage reduces effectiveness. Follow our tutorial on how to wear them correctly.
🎧 For children, noise-canceling headphones are available at the Hadra stand (a valid ID is required as a deposit).
💙 Take care of yourself—continuous exposure to loud sounds can lead to long-term hearing damage.
Plutôt que de condamner ou d’interdire, notre stratégie se concentre sur la sensibilisation, l’éducation et la mise à disposition de ressources pour aider chacun·e à faire des choix éclairés et sûrs. Du matériel de prévention reste ainsi à disposition tout au long du festival, comme des éthylotests, des préservatifs et des bouchons d’oreille. Des informations claires et accessibles sur les risques potentiels et les moyens de les minimiser sont également diffusées grâce à la présence de nombreuses structures de prévention.
