compagnie guides
A unique, practical and humane solution for risk reduction at cultural events? The GUIDES company is here to meet this crucial challenge for Festivals!
Halfway between mediation and artistic performance, the Guides are responsible for meeting and accompanying audiences in need. This team, trained and salaried, fosters a climate of mutual support and trust at all our events, embodying the link between the public and the Festivals.
Guides have been recruited according to very precise typologies to compose: teams with equal representation, representative of the public, festive with a specificity either in artistic practices or in awareness-raising, or with an appetence for electronic music or the site of the event. They attended a 3-hour training course prior to the event, and receive regular refresher training:
✓VHSS awareness training
✓Sensibilisation Réduction Des Risques aux consommations
✓Knowledge of the site (traffic flows, locations of emergency exits and first-aiders, associations present, toilet locations, water fountains)
✓Knowledge of programming, specificity of musical styles and passage times
✓Safety protocol: how to report and pass on information?
