derschein is a techno platform, a series of events and label from Belarus. Over its six-year history, the project has become the largest and most significant of it’s kind in Belarus. Through all six years, the team has set important goals for itself to unite people around common values, to promote freedom, self-expression and love in all its manifestations.

But in 2022 everything has changed.

Since 2020 when the active protests started in Belarus, thousands of people have been killed, repressed, imprisoned or forced to leave Belarus. The outbreak of the war only worsened the situation and an incredible number of people and businesses left the country. Finally last month, the derschein-team also left the country. In their own words, derschein and the rest of the Belarusian people, have been living under extreme pressure and political repression and have been in a state of war with their own country and with Russia for many years.

For several years derschein has been planning to organise a tour with the purpose of showing the different colours of Belarusian techno, to put the country on the cultural map of the world, and to show that Belarus is not Russia. It is important for them to show the uniqueness of their culture, to draw attention to the fact that Belarusians are against war.

We at Ved Siden Af are happy to offer derschein a platform to help them get their message out, and at the same time raise money for their brothers and sisters in Ukraine.

VED SIDEN AF SAFER SPACE POLICY
HOUSE RULES:
- Don’t assume pronouns (she/he/they/it +), always ask first.
- Don’t get too intoxicated, know your limits!
- No pictures or videos of any kind inside the club.
- No racism, homophobia, transphobia or sexism.
- No phones on our dancefloors.
- No touching without asking and no means NO!
- No leering, you may look, but don't stare.

NO DISCRIMINATION:
It is our goal that anyone visiting our club, regardless of sexuality, gender, outfit (or lack thereof), body type or ethnicity feels safe and included.
This is a big task to handle all by ourselves, so we kindly ask everyone to keep their eyes and ears open for bad and inappropriate behavior around the club. If you see or experience any harassment and/or unwanted attention, please DO NOT hesitate to contact any of our staff or security with your issue.
Our guests' comfort and well-being is our highest priority and no issue is too small for us to take seriously.
If the discomfort is real to you, it is real to us.

CONSENT:
Consent is the basis of all positive human interactions. In a club setting, consent is a voluntary agreement between two or more people to enjoy a moment together. Unfortunately, we humans are not always very good at expressing our needs and desires. Luckily, there is a very easy solution to this: Respectful and open dialogue. Be it conversation, dance, physical contact, consumption or sexual activites - always be sure, that the other person participates with consent. If you are in doubt, just ask. Asking for consent is cool and awe-inspiring.

SUBSTANCES:
At VSA we strive to create a safer space, and if you cannot take care of yourself, you are making the space less safe. We need you to be as mindful of your own safety, as you are mindful of the safety of your fellow raver. Please think about what you consume and how much. If you feel unwell or notice anybody who might have had too much, don’t hesitate to contact our safety crew. Also, we would like to point out that illegal drugs are as illegal inside the club as outside the club.

NO PHONES ON OUR DANCEFLOORS:
Our space is a place for freedom of expression without the all-seeing eye of social media, therefore photos and videos are not allowed inside our space. Due to this, we demand that everyone leave all cameras, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok etc. in the wardrobe. Breaking this rule will result in an early trip home.
Furthermore, if you are on the dance floor, please refrain from activity on your phone, we created the dance floor for dancing, not for updating yourself on your latest Facebook feed or checking out your new Tinder matches. If you need to use your phone, please go do it in the lobby, lounge or at least not in the middle of a moving floor. It kills the vibe.

SAFER SPACE AMBASSADOR:
VSA’s Safer Space Ambassadors are present at the club in the busy hours to make sure that everybody is having a good time. They are professionals trained to deal with problematic situations related to all of the above points. They are wearing black T-shirts with the Ved Siden Af logo and ‘safer space’ written to mark them. Please do not hesitate to contact them if you experience something unpleasant or have questions.
