“Terra” Association from Rijeka: Keeping Croatia’s Clubbing Scene Safe and Sound

Let’s be honest—clubbing is fun, but it can also come with some risks. That’s where the Terra Association from Rijeka, Croatia comes in, like the superheroes of safe and healthy partying! 

They’ve created a unique project called "Tripsitters", which just won the prestigious Ambassador Award for their amazing contribution to the nightlife scene. So, what’s this all about?


What is “Tripsitters”?

Imagine a program that pops up at festivals, concerts, and parties—places where young people gather to dance, laugh, and sometimes, experiment. But instead of judgment or lectures, Tripsitters offer helpful advice, educational materials, and practical tools for safe partying. They believe in “healthy clubbing” and “safe clubbing” because, hey, nobody wants their night out to turn into a horror story.

Here’s the scoop on what they do:

Helping You Party Smarter

The Tripsitters team shares information about recreational substances, explaining their effects, how to use them responsibly (if you choose to), and what to do in case of an overdose. Think of it as your nightlife safety guide but cooler—and no, they don’t encourage substance use; they’re just making sure people know the risks and stay safe.


They’ve Got the Goods!

But wait, there’s more! Tripsitters don’t just talk the talk—they walk the walk with kits they hand out at events. These aren’t your average goodie bags. Here’s what you’ll find:

  • Informational Flyers: Because knowledge is power!
  • Condoms: Safe sex is the best sex, folks.
  • Vitamins: To keep your energy up (dancing for hours can be exhausting).
  • Pipes: Sharing pipes is a no-go because hepatitis is very contagious. Better safe than sorry!
  • Earplugs: Your ears are not invincible—protect them from those earth-shaking bass drops.


Why This Matters

In the age of massive sound systems, glowing festival lights, and non-stop party vibes, Terra reminds us that safety doesn’t mean killing the fun. It means dancing responsibly and making sure everyone gets home safe and sound (literally). Plus, their program shines a spotlight on issues like substance education, overdose prevention, and protecting your hearing—things we don’t always think about when we’re vibing on the dance floor.


Spreading Love, Not Hepatitis

One of their key messages is about hygiene—especially when it comes to pipes and other shared items. Terra educates partygoers on how diseases like hepatitis spread easily in such scenarios. The solution? Your own pipe! It’s a small step, but it makes a big difference.


A Big Win for the Scene

Winning the Ambassador Award proves just how impactful Terra’s work has been. They’re not just making clubbing safer; they’re also shaping a culture of responsibility in Croatia’s nightlife scene. With their preventive and educational approach, Tripsitters are paving the way for a better, healthier future for partygoers everywhere.

Party Smart, Party Safe!

So, next time you’re hitting up a festival or a club in Croatia, keep an eye out for the Tripsitters. They’re the friendly faces helping you make smarter choices while you dance the night away. Because at the end of the day, it’s all about having fun—but not at the cost of your health or safety.

Now, grab your earplugs, your own pipe, and your sense of adventure—because safe partying is the best partying! 🎉
