CONSTELLATIONS: An online festival on drugs and harm reduction

21 June 2021
Harm Reduction International (HRI)

For 31 years, we have brought you the Harm Reduction International Conference – the main global forum for the exchange of information at the intersection of human rights, public health and drug policy; a place for the international harm reduction community to gather. The COVID-19 pandemic has meant that we cannot safely gather in person for some time but our need to gather with our community is as strong as ever. And so, we bring you CONSTELLATIONS: An Online Festival on Drugs and Harm Reduction.

OBJECTIVES

1.BRING THE HARM REDUCTION COMMUNITY TOGETHER
The COVID pandemic has forced us to work in greater isolation than ever. While there have been online conferences during this time, we hope that CONSTELLATIONS unique mix of content will attract even those among us who have resisted online events before now.

2. BRING HARM REDUCTION TO A NEW AUDIENCE
Through our Harm Reduction International Conference we have been expanding our audience to encompass a broader range of disciplines. We expect that CONSTELLATIONS will allow us to reach new audiences; both those whose work is tangentially related to harm reduction and the general public.

3.MAKE HARM REDUCTION ABOUT MORE THAN JUST HARM
While a focus on injecting drug use is always critical, CONSTELLATIONS will broaden out harm reduction to talk about people s pleasure, freedom, enjoyment, bodily autonomy, as well as a wider range of psychoactive substances.
