        A significant presence on the ground

        Our prevention stands, run by dedicated volunteers, have become essential spaces at many events.
        More than just kiosks, these stands are real places of exchange, awareness and information, where the safety and well-being of participants are at the heart of concerns. Our trained volunteers play a key role in preventing drug-related risks, including those associated with chemical submission and to the chemical vulnerability .

        Thanks to their expertise and commitment, we have been able to reach thousands of people, offering them practical advice , protection tools , and precise information to recognize and prevent these often invisible dangers. These initiatives not only help to strengthen individual safety, but also to create a more peaceful and responsible environment during festive events.

        Our concrete actions

        At each event, we distribute hundreds of free tests Drink Safe GHB Detector to detect the presence of undesirable substances in beverages. More than 500 tests And 500 glass hoods were distributed during our last interventions. In addition, we also offer breathalyzers to encourage responsible driving after the festivities, condoms to promote healthy and safe relationships, as well as earplugs to preserve participants' hearing when faced with loud music.

        We also provide our saliva tests And urine tests , which allow drug use to be detected on site, thus offering a quick and discreet solution to participants concerned about their safety. To go even further in prevention, we offer the Breathalyzer , a practical and fun tool that allows you to measure your blood alcohol level in a few seconds, while effectively raising awareness of the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol.

        These distributions and devices illustrate our deep commitment to safety and well-being of the party community, by offering concrete solutions to prevent risks related to drugs, alcohol and risky behaviors. Our mission is to make every evening safer, while strengthening the autonomy and responsibility of participants.

        Our communication on social networks also plays a crucial role. We raise awareness among the public about the different risks that can be encountered during festivities, and we regularly share advice to avoid accidents related to drug and alcohol consumption.

        Our collaborations

        We are extremely proud of our close collaborations with major players in the associative world. These solid partnerships allow us not only to extend our reach, but also to strengthen the significant impact of our actions on the ground. During each intervention, our stands, completely free for participants, become points of convergence where information, prevention and awareness are combined. Our animations, designed to be both educational and engaging, were warmly received by the participants, testifying to the relevance and effectiveness of our approach.

        We have marked our presence at major and recognized events, including the Bass Couture festival, Ordinaire , Merci Beaucoup , Subtronic, Yaar , C la Teuf, Boat'n'Sound, Be, Undersound , and the Barathon extending from Mulhouse to Strasbourg. Each presence reinforces our mission and our commitment to creating a safer and more informed festive environment for all.

        Our volunteers: The heart of our mission

        The team of volunteers, composed of nurses, nursing assistants and chemistry graduates, is truly the beating heart of our organization. Lara, Cindy, Manon, Robin, Pauline, Martin, Ludovic and Ewenn are not just names on a list, but passionate people who, thanks to their dedication, expertise and ability to communicate, have greatly contributed to the success of our missions in the field.

        At each event, they engaged in numerous exchanges with those present, offering valuable information, answering questions and dispelling myths surrounding alcohol and drug use. Their approach, combining professionalism and human warmth, helped to create a bond of trust with the participants. These interactions not only raised awareness of the risks, but also reinforced the idea that prevention is everyone's business. Thanks to these exchanges, many participants left better informed and more aware of the issues related to their festive choices.

        Thanks

        We would like to express our deep gratitude to all the associations with whom we have had the privilege of collaborating. Each of them, from Longevity to Bass Couture, including Fort Sinon Rien , Ordinaire, Merci Beaucoup, Yaar, C la Teuf, Boat'n'Sound, Be, Undersound, and the Barathon de Mulhouse in Strasbourg, has demonstrated a sensitivity and acute awareness of the risks in the festive environment. Their proactive commitment to prevention and safety has been a determining factor in ensuring that each event takes place without incident.

        Their willingness to collaborate with us and secure their events is a testament to the importance they place on prevention and caring for their audience. We are proud of this synergy that has helped create safer festive environments for everyone. A big thank you also to our dedicated volunteers and all those who support our cause, because without them, these fruitful collaborations would not have been possible.
