OUR VALUES AND COMMITMENTS

BENEVOLENCE

We are all responsible for the smooth running of our festival. The Hadra Trance Festival must be free of all forms of oppression: it’s a time for sharing, conviviality and friendship that we want to guarantee to all festival-goers. We are committed to offering a space where everyone feels welcomed and respected. Thanks to our prevention and risk-reduction initiatives, we ensure that everyone can enjoy the festival to the full in complete peace of mind.

We invite each and every one of you to look out for each other, friends and strangers alike, and to tolerate and respect each other’s differences. The Hadra Trance Festival condemns all inappropriate behaviour and all forms of discrimination: for the party to be great, everything must be done to ensure that everyone feels safe, in a friendly atmosphere.

If you ever witness an unusual event or behaviour, violent, disturbing, discriminatory or sexist gestures… don’t hesitate for a second to contact the staff, the Inaya team, the Refuge and/or the security agents: we’re all here to help, support and intervene.

You can also make a report, during or after the festival, to the following address: signalement@hadra.net

AGAINST HOMOPHOBIC, SEXIST AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE

The fight against harassment and gender or sexual violence has spread far and wide, and we are aware that these behaviours and assaults exist everywhere, even at our parties. Since 2018, the Hadra association has been strengthening its actions in terms of benevolence and the fight against gender-based and sexual violence.

The new INAYA team will ensure that this benevolence is maintained! The principle: a team of volunteers trained in the fight against sexist and sexual violence will be on the patrol throughout the festival. Easily identifiable, they will be able to respond to any requests or suspicions of harassment or violence.

The INAYA TEAM’s  objectives:
  • Providing a constant presence to reassure but also to intervene or involve other interlocutors if necessary
  • Remain vigilant to spot any violent situation or problematic act
  • Helping victims and making the connection with the appropriate people (prevention associations and people trained in taking testimony)
  • Immediately hear what witnesses and victims have to say and make contact with the appropriate people (prevention associations, security officers, organisers, etc.).
  • Providing support and assistance to people in need

The Inaya Refuge is a mixed-sex space open 24 hours a day, set up at the Hadra Trance Festival. In partnership with Keep Smiling, l’ANPAA 03, Ekinox Rdr and Serein·e·s. By recognising that the party scene is subject to sexist, violent, discriminatory and oppressive behaviour in the same way as any other, the aim of this space is to prevent, inform, listen and support.

Volunteers will be present to discuss issues such as harassment and consent, and much more widely, social behaviour in general, and will welcome testimonials from people who wish to do so, in a friendly and safe environment. Of course, you will all be able to talk to the facilitators throughout the Risk Reduction area. This safe little cocoon is more of a resource area for people who want to take it easy and/or are in need.

INAYA CAMPSITE – MIXED CHOICE CAMPSITE

The Inaya campsite is a space for agender people, women, intersex, non-binary and trans people. This means that cisgender men (born men who currently identify as men) are not allowed to move in.

The campsite will be open from Thursday 12pm to Monday 11am.
Tents only, no vehicle access.
Dogs are not allowed throughout the festival.

Access with a wristband: access to the campsite is reserved for people registered using this form. Last-minute registrations can also be made at the Inaya refuge at any time during the festival.

  • You will have 2 wristbands to get around the festival.
  • The 1st wristband must be collected from the ticket office on arrival and will give you access to the festival.
  • The 2nd wristband can be collected from the Refuge Inaya and will give you access to the non-mixed campsite.
  • It is forbidden to invite people without an Inaya bracelet to the campsite.
  • Access to the campsite will be controlled by a security officer.

A word about the chosen mix and the values of the event

This space has been set up because we are aware of the systemic violence that weighs on women and gender minorities.

We want everyone to feel as comfortable as possible during the festival, and the Inaya campsite is part of a wider initiative to combat discrimination and deal with gender-based violence.

We defend the self-determination of individuals and their gender identity. Therefore, we will not ask you any questions about your gender identity, either on this form or when you receive your wristbands. However, we will take the liberty of writing you an email to confirm your registration and answer any questions you may have.

We also ask all those who come to the campsite to respect this attitude, to remain benevolent and to respect everyone’s differences, even if you don’t understand them. Finally, we would ask you not to question the legitimacy of anyone staying in this space.

If you have any questions, you’re welcome to talk to Serein·e·s.

We want to create spaces where people can feel as supported as possible, but no space is ever completely free of oppression: don’t hesitate to ask the Serein·e·s team if you feel uncomfortable or are experiencing violence during the event, even on this campsite.

If you have any questions about this or would like to access it during the festival, please go to the Inaya Refuge.

THE SEREIN•E•S STAND

Located next to the Risk Reduction associations: awareness-raising stand with documentation, materials, opportunity to talk about sexual health and consent, etc.
 
Serein·e·s is an association based in Grenoble, whose aim is to raise awareness, prevent and combat sexist, sexual and gender-based violence and discrimination in festive and cultural environments. Serein·e·s also offers training courses for associations and event organisers.

Prevention and protection at parties

Prevention and harm reduction (harm reduction) are fundamental pillars for ensuring a safe festival experience. Harm Reduction covers a global approach aimed at minimising the various dangers to which festival-goers may be exposed. This includes not only the risks associated with the use of psychoactive substances, but also those related to road safety, sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and exposure to noise.

As organisers, we are doing our best to facilitate the work of the various organisations and understanding of each other’s work. The harm reduction associations Ekinox, Keep Smiling, Serein·e·s, Axess Festif, le Tipi Festif, Techno+ and Association Addictions France are very much involved in addressing the issues of risk behaviour in the public. A great deal of work goes into coordinating all these structures so that all the teams work together. This cohesion is also very much in evidence when it comes to the public who come to the prevention stands for information or treatment. Their commitment and coordinated actions help to minimise the risks and ensure a peaceful experience for all participants.

Rather than condemning or banning, our strategy focuses on raising awareness, educating and providing resources to help everyone make informed and safe choices. Prevention materials such as breathalysers, condoms and earplugs will be available throughout the festival. Clear and accessible informations on potential risks and how to minimise them will also be available thanks to the presence of a number of prevention organisations.

We would like to remind you that prolonged exposure to high noise levels is dangerous to your health. So we’re making disposable earplugs available to you at the prevention stand and the Hadra stand. Please note that an improperly worn plug will not protect your little ears as well as it should, so we advise you to follow the instructions given, to guarantee comfort and healthy hearing.

In addition, for the safety of your children, we can provide you with anti-noise headphones, guaranteeing effective protection. You can obtain them at the Hadra stand, leaving an identity document as a deposit.

Take care of yourself: noise is a risk to which we are constantly exposed and which can have irreversible long-term consequences.
