Awareness, Diversity & Inclusion

Awareness

Danube is the love of music. It is the feeling of experiencing something beautiful and unique together. Sharing the same moments with friends, partners and artists across the world without prejudices.

Our goal at events is to create a space for all guests, artists, helpers and other participants in which it is possible to develop freely in every way.

At our events, we want to create a safer space for everyone. No one should be discriminated against, unfairly criticized, harassed, or emotionally or physically harmed in any way. This can only be achieved if guests and hosts share responsibility. Mindfulness, transparency and communication are the basic requirements for this goal. There is no tolerance for discrimination or abusive behavior in any form at all.

For us, awareness begins with communication. This topic is an essential part of our event-communication. We want to clarify this topic in advance and make people clearly aware of that.

We can make a lot of things possible and better if we know it in advance. There are various ways to get in touch with us. First of all, we inform our guests about the topic at the entrance – here we refer to  contacts which can be reached by phone at any time. At the same time, we look forward to an open exchange. The Awareness Team at our events will be present at any time. The team can be recognized by a light blue LED bracelet on the upper arm.

We appeal to all guests to seek contact with us as hosts at events as soon as they feel attacked in their personal safer space or experience this with or about other people. It doesn’t matter why or how this feeling occurs, the focus is on restoring the well-being of the person.

If it is not possible for those affected to speak directly to us as the host, the code word “Is Luisa there” can be used with the entire staff at the event. The staff will react immediately, go to a safe place with the affected person and take individual steps depending on the situation.

The Awareness team works according to established principles. The affected person is always the focus. The person decides to what extent she wants to communicate. Our team will take immediate actions against the person which caused the problem and solve the situation. The affected person can take part in taking further actions, if wanted.

Diversity

The biggest similarity of everyone involved at our events is the love of music. This love is fed by musical diversity. It lets us experience something new together every time. We have the same understanding towards guests, artists and other participants. Their diverse input turns an event into an experience. That’s why we welcome everyone to our events and invite them to actively shape experiences together through a lively exchange. Our aim is to achieve the greatest possible diversity with regard to social and cultural characteristics, both for us as hosts and for our guests at each individual event.

Inclusion

We communicate in both German and English—and always in clear, easy-to-understand language—so that everyone can follow along. Giving every person access to our events is essential. We share our mission as widely as possible, with inclusion woven into every message. Before each event we invite open dialogue so we can remove barriers together and during the festival our Awareness Team is your on-site contact for questions about accessibility.

We tailor each edition to be as accessible as possible. Ticket prices cover only essential costs, and if they’re still a stretch, just reach out—no one should miss out for financial reasons.
