Eve & Rave

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eve & Rave (also known as eve & rave ) are / were registered associations in the German cities of Berlin , Kassel , Cologne and Münster as well as in Switzerland . The name of the club is made up of the words "Eve" as a name for a type of ecstasy tablets and " Rave " for the electronic music event of the same name.

The aim is to promote party and techno culture and to reduce the drug problem through accepting drug work . For this purpose, the associations offer drug users information on the individual intoxicants, with the aim of using these substances with as little risk as possible ( safer use ). Eve & Rave advocates decriminalization of drug users, drug maturity and drug checking , which many German criminal law professors ( Schildower Kreis ), sections of the police , some well-known economists and increasingly broader layers of society consider the only feasible way to deal with the drug problem to steer in a reasonable direction.

history

On October 12, 1994, the Eve & Rave eV Berlin association was founded with the aim of promoting party and techno culture and making nightlife safer in the long term and improving its quality (safer house or safer clubbing). A central point here was - among many others - to reduce the drug problem through accepting drug work . In 1996 the idea was taken up in the cities of Münster and Solothurn (Switzerland). This is how the Eve & Rave (Switzerland) association came into being and, in cooperation with AIDS-Hilfe Münster eV, the Eve & Rave Münster project, which has been a registered association (eve & rave Münster eV) since 2003. In addition, the associations Eve & Rave eV NRW ( Cologne ) and later Eve & Rave Kassel were founded. However, these only existed for a relatively short time compared to Berlin, Münster and Switzerland. All Eve & Rave associations worked drug accepting from the start. Drug use is recognized as a social reality . The abstinence paradigm (the general condemnation of any use of illegal drugs) is classified by Eve & Rave as unrealistic. For this reason, the author collective techno-netzwerk berlin developed a drug-checking concept for the Federal Republic of Germany for the German Federal Ministry of Health in 2000, with significant participation from Eve & Rave Berlin . After Eve & Rave Berlin, NRW and Kassel have ceased their activities, the last two active clubs are Eve & Rave Münster and Eve & Rave (Switzerland).

However, Eve & Rave Münster also took on supra-regional tasks very quickly. So the association u. a.
