Description
Have you ever felt unsafe on the bus, walking to work or on a night out? Join us on our pop-up dancefloor where you make the rules.
Take up some space, soak up the vibes, bust a move, pick up a pen and tell us your demands.
By making your mark on the walls of the dancefloor you can tell us how you want to be treated in public spaces and what makes you feel safe on a night out. There will also be the opportunity to confidentially disclose personal experiences of sexual harm and barriers that have been faced when reporting. Based on the conversations we have, your experiences and data from optional follow-up focus groups, we will work together to create prevention strategies to make public spaces safer for everyone: so you can bust a move without fear.
The Dancefloor Project is a collaboration between Bolshee CIC and York St John University Psychology department in association with the York St John University Institute for Social Justice. This innovative partnership stems from a shared commitment to provide a voice to those that have experienced sexual harm and in developing preventative strategies to make public spaces safer for all.
