Safer Space guidelines
At State of Souls events and clubs, we follow safer space principles.
We strive to ensure that everyone is met as their authentic self, and that no one has to fear discrimination or harassment. Therefore, we ask everyone involved in our activities and events to commit to the following principles:
- We are equal and diverse. We are committed to anti-discrimination and anti-racism.
- We respect everyone’s right to self-determination and do not make assumptions about others, such as their gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, family relationships, or any other aspect of a person’s background.
- We intervene in cases of harassment and do not accept hate speech.
- You can report harassment and discuss safer space principles with the event organizers.
- We respect other people’s personal space and the environment.
- We respond with a low threshold if someone does not follow safer space principles. We intervene in harassment situations, for example by removing a person from the event.
