« Safer Spaces » is a term used in events and nightlife to describe spaces where safety and wellbeing of the audience are one of the main concern of the organisers. A « Safer Space » aims at being accessible to everyone and tries to create a comfortable environment where everyone’s boundaries are respected at all times, but what does it really mean? Is outlining a policy or a set of rules to visitors enough? Or should other practices be put in place inside and outside the event space? This workshop will be more of a discussion than a lecture; let’s talk about why or how difficult it can be. What (systemic) violences are at play? What about drugs? How do these violence take shape and how to prevent them during events. Together with experts, we interactively explore ways to create a safer night and event culture.
