Code of Conduct // Rules
Our rules for an appreciative and respectful cooperation on NACHTI
Code of Conduct
Approach each other with attentiveness, empathy, and responsibility.
We aim to create a safer space for all our guests and staff. To achieve this, it is important that all individuals treat each other considerately and take responsibility for our fellow human beings.
Respect and reflect on your own boundaries and needs, as well as those of others.
Regardless of the actions involved, remember that only "yes" means "yes"! It means acting in consensus with all parties involved, which requires obtaining clear and explicit consent. Ask what is okay and what is not for the other person. This consensus can be revoked at any time without fear of being threatened or subjected to violence.
This includes all uninvited actions (e.g., approaching, making comments, etc.).
We do not jump to conclusions based on a person's gender or origin.
We strive to use gender-sensitive language. Language is alive, constantly changing, and reflects society.
It is important for us to try to address and reach all individuals correctly.
If you are uncertain about how to address someone, you can ask them which pronouns and other self-identifications they use.
Zero tolerance for fascist and other discriminatory symbols.
Any form of sexism, racism, ableism, queer or transphobia, or other forms of discrimination, as well as physical and psychological violence, will result in exclusion from the event.
This includes comments about a person's appearance, presumed sexual orientation, as well as discriminatory language/jokes in person or on clothing, symbols, etc.
We all act based on the power of definition and are biased towards the affected person.
If an individual perceives a situation as crossing their boundaries, this is their reality. This means that we believe the person and there will be no "investigative inquiry." The experience will not be doubted. The aim is to provide the affected person with the necessary safety and self-efficacy to continue being part of the festival.
No open consumption of illegal drugs.
We want each of you to feel free in Olganitz, and at the same time, we expect you to approach the subject of consumption with mindfulness and responsibility. This means that despite all the freedom and boundaries, both internal and external, must be respected.
Spiking
Giving other people substances (including alcohol) without their knowledge is absolutely forbidden and will be punished with ejection and police report! Take care of yourself and others. Do not leave your drinks unattended. If you see someone putting something in another person's drink, talk to both of them about it.
In general, if you think someone is not feeling well, ask if they need help or seek assistance.
Safety
- the site and the nature around: Keep it clean and help us to preserve its beauty. Have fun but don't go wild destroying things - 'cause this is not fun at all.
- our security and fences: They are there for a reason and it's not because we like to harass you.
- that in case of storms or other critical weather we might need to shut down certain areas of the venue. Please bare in mind that a car is the only save place during lightning storms. The buildings do not have enough capacity to give shelter to crew and visitors.
- that we do not tolerate drug dealers: Dealers will be thrown out immediately.
- our decorations and the effort we put in them: Neither are they built for you to climb on nor to be taken home by our guests. Nachtdigital decoration is made for Olganitz, not for anybody's living room! We don't want to keep an eye on our stuff 24/7 as we think it is the most self-evident fact in the world that it should stay where we put it.
- that our camping grounds do not need to be turned into yet another dancefloor. Please leave your sound system at home.
- the woods: Prior to Nachtdigital we usually have quite a few hot and dry weeks of summer. So please have an eye on where you put your cigarettes butts and all other incandescent stuff.
