The Community Garden

Copenhagen Pride’s new area, the Community Garden, is designed as a quieter and more secluded garden where you can retreat from the party, have a drink from our non-alcoholic bar, meet a wide range of LGBTI+ organisations and participate in social events. The Community Garden is also where our Safer Space tent is located and where it will be possible to change clothes before leaving the site.

Safer Space Tent

Our safety team is based in the Safer Space tent, but can also be found around the square from 17.30 every day. You can recognise them by their bright yellow t-shirts with the text “Safety Team” on the chest. They are there to make the site safe, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you feel uncomfortable or unsafe. 

The tent will be calm and our safety team is here to talk to you, sit with you or otherwise look after you. If you need help from paramedics or similar, they can help you make contact.  

When the tent is not open, please go to the volunteer tent if you need help.

Who can you meet in the community garden?

Organisations

The AIDS Foundation 

At the AIDS Foundation, we fight for sexual health for all. We fight for a world without AIDS and a Denmark without new HIV cases by 2030. And for a world where norms do not harm people and everyone has the opportunity to have pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free from coercion, discrimination and violence regardless of HIV status, gender and sexuality. 

Asexual Association Denmark (FAD)

The Asexual Association Denmark (FAD) works to raise awareness of asexuality, both for the benefit of the surrounding society, but especially for asexuals, so that they know that it exists and that there are communities of like-minded people. In addition, we give asexuals a forum where they can meet each other and strengthen social interaction. Here we exchange experiences and talk about everyday experiences or just hang out in an atmosphere where sex is not interesting.
