Please distribute this invitation to people you know and could be interested. You can also subscribe to the orga mailing list here (in french for now).

The democratic culture of this self organized event should be based on respect towards one another. It is important to enable the articulation of everybody’s opinions and experiences to learn from each other. We want the cyclocamp to be free from violence and other violent behaviour like sexism, homophobia, racism and such. WITHOUT COMPROMISE! Conflicts can occur but should not be fought in a disrespectful way or on a personal level. Be aware of sexism, racism and all other kind of discriminating behaviour. If you notice any kind of this behaviour or are concerned yourself, please discuss this and feel free to get the support-group for help.

Support group

The intention of the support-group is to give assistance in case of violent, sexist, racist and related conflicts, to mediate and to give protection. If you feel threatened or in case of any kind of other interpersonal emergencies, SPEAK UP – GET SUPPORT!

you can reach the support-group anytime under +33 XXXXXXXX (update soon) or via the Info-point.

Costs

The cyclocamp is a non-profit festival. The profit made at the bar and kitchen will cover the costs of wood, toilet, gas, electricity, etc. To avoid additional costs, it is necessary to collect and separate waste because the costs for residual wastes is expensive.

Hopefully, If there are some, the earnings will be used to finance next year’s festival.

Food

Vegan food is prepared each day (lunch and dinner) in common by the voluntary participants for the whole group. Tools to cook big quantity will be provided, some local people know the place to get food for free or cheap. It is all self-financed and all food & drinks are on donation, so please give an appropriate amount of money for it.
