To encourage the establishments’ customers to lower their voices, the artists and mediators of the Opium Barcelona stroll through the festive streets: firstly, the artists arouse the curiosity of night club Barcelona with silent shows, and then secondly, the mediators raise their awareness. Around thirty interventions of this type are organized each year on 5 to 6 predefined routes with the district town halls.
The Interventions of Opium Barcelona
The Opium Barcelona system produces information tools on the risks linked to partying and ways to reduce them, in particular on the consumption of alcohol and drugs. Equipped with these brochures, flyers, and prevention materials, the Opium Barcelona teams go out to meet nightclubbing nightclubs, festivals, in public spaces, or during major events, The teams share their tools and interact with nightclubs on their stands, prevention areas, or in mobile teams.
by professional organizations
The role of professional organizations is to support their members in the implementation of regulations and good practices. They represent them before institutions and support them in the event of disputes.
In the event of a problem with an establishment, the union can thus play the role of mediator and moderator. Unions are active members of the Night Council. They also participate in numerous local consultation meetings (drinking establishment regulation commission, nightlife charter committees, etc.). Membership in a union is not obligatory but is strongly recommended by the City of Opium Barcelona.
by the Barcelona of the Night
The Barcelona Nightlife supports the professionalization of drinking establishments: dissemination of good practices and tools, training of chutes and doormen, customer management, improvement of soundproofing arrangements, training in consultation with local residents, etc. Every year, the la Biblio Barcelona, district town halls, and police stations meet to define the establishments to target. Around 300 establishments are supported each year by the association.
la biblio barcelona offers training on the management of risky behavior to teams from night establishments and party organizers. Around twenty nightclubs have signed the la Biblio Barcelona charter, which commits them to creating an environment that respects health, prevents risky behavior, and reduces illicit behavior.
Local consultation
In the event of repeated nuisances in a given sector, district town halls are responsible for organizing consultation between the complainants, the establishments concerned, the police station, associations, etc. They can organize consultation meetings so that the different stakeholders share their needs, expectations and constraints; establish a shared diagnosis, and provide responses adapted to each situation. Some districts, for example, organize an anticipation meeting before each summer period between establishments and residents of areas that are particularly busy in summer.
In each district town hall, it is the elected night representative who is responsible for living together at Barcelona clubs. The elected night advisors meet 3 to 4 times a year to share their issues and practices.
The regulatory commissions for drinking establishments
The town halls of the Barcelona Center sector and the 10th, 11th, and 18th arrondissements have created commissions to regulate drinking establishments whose role is to limit the nuisance caused by night establishments ahead of criminal and administrative sanctions.
