The Collective Care program embodies the principles of safer spaces. Originating from the queer and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of colour) communities, safer spaces challenge the notion that violence and discrimination are inevitable in nightlife environments. Instead, it centers on prioritizing the safety of marginalized individuals while offering support to everyone. In essence, creating a safer space means fostering an environment where everyone can enjoy themselves without fear for their safety.
The term "safe space" suggests absolute safety, which unfortunately is unattainable. We recognize that safety means different things to different people and can be subjective. Thus, we prefer the term "safer spaces" to acknowledge this complexity and the ongoing work required to make our environment as safe as possible for all.
The Collective Care team comprises members of the underground dance community from Belgium and beyond. Additionally, this year, we're proud to once again collaborate with Safe 'n Sound, providing visitors with additional sensitivity and information regarding harm reduction and safety at the festival. Our volunteers bring diverse experiences to their roles and undergo training in harm reduction and victim support.
No, the Collective Care team operates independently from security or law enforcement. One of our objectives is to minimize the need for guests to interact with security or police. However, if a situation arises that necessitates their involvement, we will remain by your side to ensure you receive the support you need.
We encourage you to reach out to us at collectivecare@horstartsandmusic.com with any thoughts, suggestions, or concerns. If you have any remarks, complaints or input during the festival, please fill in this anonymous form. Your input is of the utmost value as we continuously strive to improve and refine our practices.
Application forms for volunteers open end of February. Volunteers play a crucial role in bringing the festival to life, offering their invaluable time and skills at various stages—before, during, and after the event. Join us to be an essential part of the Horst Festival experience!
