Unity / Celebrate Safe
During HEMQADE we celebrate safely. If you have any questions about the use of alcohol or other drugs, you’re welcome for a chat at the ‘celebrate safe’ stand supported by Unity. Unity is an open-minded harm reduction project in the Dutch party scene. They will be happy to talk to you and share their knowledge. When you’re (or your friend) not feeling well, please visit the first aid team. The first aid team is your friend, and is here to help you without judgement.
Hearing prevention
You have only got one pair of ears, so be careful with those. Make sure you wear hearing protection. Also don't stand too close by speakers, because you can suffer from hearing loss afterwards. Earplugs are available.
Take care of yourself... and each other
As always, our motto is, "come together, stay together, leave together", so take care of yourself and each other!
We wish you an amazing night at HEMQADE!
