Instructions for event participants

In all our events, the participants commit to following the principles for a safer space. When attending an event, meet all participants with an open mind, respect their diversity and let everyone define their own experiences.

Furthermore, please respect the time of the event organisers: If you have signed up for an event, do attend. This way the event organisers can plan their events based on the real turnout. If for some reason you cannot attend an event that has a limited amount of space, let the event organisers know.

Before participating an event online, we hope you will read the instructions for online participants. By following these guidelines, you can help create a comfortable atmosphere and open interaction.
