In a world where the in-person events and festivals we know and love have come to a halt, we want you to know that it’s okay to not be okay.
To support our hard stricken supporters, DanceSafe is teaming up with our friends over at the Zendo Project under Party in Place to offer free Event Industry Peer Support Groups for our supporters currently or recently employed or contracted (part-time or full-time) within the event, festival, nightlife, and music industries whose livelihood has been impacted by COVID-19.
Event Industry Peer Support Groups will be held weekly starting May 15th and will last 2 hours. Groups will be limited to a maximum of 10 participants to allow space for all to be heard and supported. The groups will be open, meaning that individual attendees will change on a week by week basis. All sessions will be facilitated by Zendo Project staff and volunteers and are opportunities for Event and Festival staff to come together to share experiences in a community format.
Due to overwhelming need and limited organizational capacity, we will be rolling out applications for three defined tiers of supporters who will be eligible to participate in these services.
