Principles of a safer space
RESPECT
Give others space, pay attention to your choice of words and remember the diversity of people. Don’t mock, demean, or embarrass anyone with your words or actions. Ask for space for yourself as well, if needed.
DON’T ASSUME
Respect everyone’s right to self-determination and don’t make assumptions about others’ gender, background, family relationships, health or abilities among other things.
INTERVENE
If you witness harassment or other inappropriate treatment, do not remain a bystander.
LISTEN AND LEARN
Face new topics and people without prejudice, take every new thing and situation that comes your way as an opportunity to learn something new and develop.
RELAX
Making mistakes and asking questions is allowed. If you offend someone, apologize, and try to forgive others as well if they unintionally offend you.
If you witness or experience behavior directed at yourself, a friend, another festival guest, or a staff member that feels distressing or inappropriate, or that in any way undermines equality and inclusiveness, please report it to event security or other staff members. Festival staff and security personnel have been instructed to pay attention to safety and equality.
