Through the Hadra Trance Festival, the association aims to create a space for freedom, exchange and sharing. The association fights against discrimination and harassment and makes it a point of honour to make the festival accessible to all and for all, in an atmosphere of goodwill and well-being together.
OUR VALUES AND COMMITMENTS
SOLIDARITY
Hadra has been committed to making culture accessible to everyone since its creation.
ACCESSIBILITY
Every year, we continue to implement and improve our initiatives to welcome festival-goers with disabilities:
- If you have a disability, whether permanent or temporary, that requires the presence of another person, you can get a free invitation to have an accompanying person at your side. If you have a disability card or other medical certificate, and a valid ticket to the festival, you can get an invitation for your companion.
- There are two welcome stands, one in the car park to make it easier for the public to arrive and one on the festival site, at the entrance to the ‘PSH campsite’ to make the rest of your stay easier.
- The presence of AMAAC-ACCESS’FESTIVAL: our key partner on accessibility issues.
- The PSH campsite: reserved for people with special needs. It is central to the festival (close to the various stages, catering areas, village, toilets, first-aid posts), accessible by car and equipped with special facilities (electric sockets, kettles, etc.).
- Reserved parking spaces near the ticket office and a drop-off car park near the campsite.
- Special access for people with reduced mobility to get from the car park to the festival site, with reserved parking spaces on the site. Please contact us in advance to obtain this pass.
- Recharging facilities for electric wheelchairs and other special equipment.
- Presence of LSF signers in volunteer teams in contact with the public (bar, ticket office, etc.)
- Raising the awareness of the various teams, particularly the safety team, to the different types of disability.
- Work on the layout of the site for people with walking difficulties. With adapted counters in the bars and other areas, a PRM platform above the alternative stage and modules on the floor to get over certain obstacles.
- LSF interpretation for conferences and workshops.
- Development of a risk reduction and prevention system for gender-based and sexual violence in relation to different disabilities.
- And a number of small actions adapted to the needs of the people involved (setting up a teepee for accommodation, finding guides, etc).
If you have special needs (storage of chilled medicines or special equipment, etc.), or particular difficulties (no-one available to accompany you, etc.) you can fill in the accessibility form to have your requests taken into account.
HTF 2024 ACCESSIBILITY FORMIf you have a disability, whether permanent or temporary, that requires the presence of another person, you can get an invitation for the person accompanying you. You”ll still need to buy a festival pass for the person needing an accompanying person, as the invitation is for the accompanying person.
All requests must be made before the festival (by Monday 12 August 2024 at the latest) using the ‘accessibility’ form on our website.
The invitation will be in the name of the disabled person (if the accompanying person changes). To enter the festival, the disabled person and the accompanying person must present themselves together with the festival pass and an identity document for each person. If one person arrives before the other, they will have to wait for them to enter the festival.
If you have any problems filling in the form, please contact us: felix@hadra.net / 04 38 49 29 44
HTF 2024 ACCESSIBILITY FORMThe PSH campsite is open to everyone, depending on their specific needs. It’s located in the rest of the festival campsite, and we’ve just ‘reserved’ a section for the PSH. So it’s centrally located within the festival (close to the various stages, the catering area, the village and the first-aid post).
At the entrance, you’ll find a welcome and information point with the AMAAC-ACCESS FESTIVAL association, as well as numerous volunteers to accompany you and answer your questions throughout the festival.
It is easily accessible by car, so you can unload your belongings and avoid the trip from the car parks. For those who need it, we have car parking spaces on the same campsite. So you can stay overnight in a suitable space.
At this campsite, we have a special area for the hearing impaired, with lighting so you can sign and a few electrical plugs for your telephone..
We install showers and toilets for people with reduced mobility.
Specific equipment can be adapted to suit your needs:
- Electrical outlets
- Enhanced lighting
- Secure, cool storage for medicines
- Tepee rental
- Sheltered and secure areas for recharging electrical appliances
Access to the PSH campsite will be prioritised for people who make a prior request using the form.
HTF 2024 ACCESSIBILITY FORMMore and more of you are coming to the festival every year. We’re delighted, and we’re determined to take more and more of your issues into account for the festival.
This year, we’re offering :
- Access to the PSH campsite, with a floodlit area where you can chat and meet up with your friends.
- Conferences and workshops in the village with LSF interpreters
- Workshops in the Healing / well-being zone with LSF interpreters
- Volunteers in our teams who know how to sign and interact in LSF. Particularly at the Bar, between the main and alternative stages.
- A team of Accessibility volunteers, working with AMAAC-ACCESS, to help you find your way around the car parks and the PSH campsite.
- A harm reduction and sexual and gender-based violence prevention programme, with interpreters on hand to help you if you need it.
- Awareness-raising workshops and discussions in LSF on ‘psychoactive drugs and substances’ and on sexist and sexual violence aimed directly at PSH campsites.
- Other actions to come…
As a reminder, if you have an accompanying person’s invitation:
- To enter the festival, the disabled person and the accompanying person must arrive together with the festival pass and a form of identification for each person. If one person arrives before the other, they will have to wait for them to enter the festival.
As in previous years, we are partnering with the AMAAC-ACCESS FESTIVAL Association (Association de Médiation et d’Accessibilité à l’Art et à la Culture). If you have any questions about your mobility and the infrastructure in place, you can also contact them: access.festi@gmail.com
They help us to implement specific initiatives for people with special needs. Our common goal is to enable everyone to enjoy the festival. This is reflected in the Access’Festival scheme, which has a number of missions:
- A personalised welcome for visitors, tailored to their needs.
- Volunteers with disabilities in our teams.
- Exchanging ideas and raising awareness among everyone.
- An analysis of the constraints of the site to adapt accessibility to the site.
- Loan of special equipment (wheelchairs, crutches, etc.) if required.
This team, which specialises in disability issues, is now supported by a team of Hadra volunteers who are taking this dimension more fully in-house. Don’t hesitate to come and talk to them at their stands.
“ Amaac was set up to promote artistic and cultural development in response to the need for individuals to develop through artistic practice, and the demand from the cultural sector to disseminate the works presented to a wider audience. In keeping with its main objective, the Access’Festival programme aims to facilitate access to public and private events for people with specific needs. ”
By Association AMAAC-ACCESS Festival
HTF 2024 ACCESSIBILITY FORMsolidarity and inclusiveness
culture du coeur
We want to give charities a place at the heart of the Hadra Trance Festival.
We have established a partnership with ‘Culture du Cœur Auvergne’, and we are opening our doors to people experiencing exclusion by providing them with several invitations to our festival.
Cultures du Cœur is creating a network of cultural and sporting partners, of which we are a part, and a network of social and educational structures, ‘the relays’, which it relies on to identify the beneficiary public and inform them of the services on offer.
THE RECYCLERIE
The Recyclerie is a solidarity re-use and meet up place to discuss social alternatives. We give you access to a colourful thrift shop and unusual objects at fair prices.
You can also get involved in reuse with the festival-goers’ free zone, where anyone can drop off and pick up objects. Jabr’asso was created with the aim of promoting exchange, sharing and solidarity. It’s a multi-dimensional place of welcome and experimentation, but also an associative recycling depot with an ecological and social vocation, promoting the circular economy.
FOOD DONATIONS
The festival is also developing a food donation area, where you can drop off cans, tins, dry and non-perishable foodstuffs that you don’t need during the festival, or that you’d like to get rid of. All the food will be sent to the Moulins food bank for redistribution to food aid associations. In 2019, 670 kg of food was collected!
In France, the food bank is a system that collects food that is destined to be thrown away, fights against food waste and food insecurity by pinpointing concrete needs, and supports beneficiaries to create social links, to give them a taste for cooking and sharing, and to break the solitude that exists among many beneficiaries.
This stand will be located close to the AREMACS stand, but above all as close as possible to the campsite and your temporary homes, to make it easier for you to get there! Also, at the end of the festival, we’re counting on you to bring back your uneaten products so that they can benefit others.
Commitment to a more caring world starts with small gestures!
HADRA SAFE : Our new division dedicated to benevolence in the festive environment!
The festival involves its audience, teams, service providers and volunteers in an inclusive approach: taking care of yourself and those around you, respecting others as a whole and as different as they are.
