Discriminatory and boundary-crossing behavior does not stop at our festival doors. That’s why we take responsibility: with external support, the m4music team has intensively addressed the topic and implemented an awareness concept.
Are you affected by boundary violations, discrimination and/or sexual violence? Do you feel uncomfortable? Contact our Awareness Team or report to our Awareness Point in the foyer of the Schiffbau. We take you seriously and support you.
