Principles for Safer Space

Biosfääri’s Principles for Safer Space

We treat others as we would like to be treated
We take everyone into consideration, give everyone the floor and talk so that everyone can understand. We listen and respect everyone.

We don’t make assumptions about others.
We do not make unnecessary assumptions about other people’s identity, gender, sexual orientation, or other characteristics. Everyone’s life situation and experiences are different.

We are open and listen
We strive to be open and open-minded towards everyone, because everyone is different. There is no room in Biosfääri for intolerance, violence or discrimination in any of its various forms! Intolerance, violence or discrimination are not acceptable under any circumstances!

We respect another’s personal space
No means no. Everyone has the right to integrity. We don’t bother anyone verbally or physically. We strive to be aware and interpretive in different situations so that no one feels uncomfortable.

If we notice a person in poor condition
We ask if the person is all right. We don’t leave him alone, we take care of him ourselves or make sure someone else takes care of him. We remember that you can always ask for help from the organizers. We take into account that the poor condition is not necessarily caused by intoxication, but we make sure that it is not a seizure. In case of emergency, we call 112!

If we experience or see harassment
We will try to inform the event organisers immediately so that harassment can be dealt with as quickly as possible. We can always contact the Equality Officers.

If we have offended others
We apologize and stop the unwanted behavior. We respect each other’s experiences and boundaries. Everybody screws up sometimes. The most important thing is that we learn from our mistakes and try to understand the points of view of others.

If we need help, we ask for help.
In case of problems, you can and should ask for help. Organizers and harassment contact people always help. We can always contact the Equality Officers.We think well of each other and relax🙂
