SAFER SPACE GUIDELINES
We kindly ask you to read through and engage in these safer space guidelines before attending the sessions.
✨We ask you to not make assumptions of others based on their background, gender, sexuality, identity, ethnicity etc.
✨Let’s ask for consent.
✨Respect each others as well as our own boundaries (physical, mental and emotional).
✨Let’s be aware of the privileges and prejudices we have as well as the space we take.
✨We wish that everybody are able to have a space where they are able to participate as they are.
✨All kinds of harassment, discrimination and breaking of boundaries will result in removal of the said harasser from the premises. In these situations you can inform the SADE ry staff who will be introduced in the beginning of the event. Want to add something? DM us <3

These guidelines above are inspired by Javiera Marchant, Urban Apa and Feminist Culture House.

By engaging in the safer space guidelines we are all able to enjoy ourselves throughout the event and leave the venue with lots of new, beautiful, slightly sweaty memories🍃
