RULES OF THE ASSOCIATION

Guidelines for a safer space

We kindly ask everyone who participates in the activities and events of the Northern Opera Company to respect and act in accordance with the principles for a safer space below.

Common guidelines

Don’t assume. It is natural to make assumptions about other people, but we strive to be aware of our own presuppositions and we are open to different kinds of topics and people. We don’t define experiences on behalf of anyone else and we don’t generalize our own experiences to others. We don’t make assumptions about anyone’s sexuality, gender, nationality, religion, values, socioeconomic background, health, appearance or ability to function, but we respect everyone’s right to self-determination.

Don’t degrade. We don’t degrade or embarrass anyone by their externals. We treat others as we would like to be treated.

Don’t reproduce. We don’t reproduce racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or ableist stereotypes in our speech, actions, or behavior. We strive to use language that doesn’t exclude anyone.

Intervene. If we witness any offensive behavior, we will not remain silent, but we will intervene.

Respect. We respect other people’s physical, mental, and emotional personal space. We remember that we cannot know the boundaries of one without asking from them and we don’t touch the other without permission. If necessary, we ask for space for ourselves as well.

Give space. We make sure everyone has space to participate in the discussion and we treat sensitive topics with respect.

Give and receive feedback. Everyone is allowed to give appropriate and constructive feedback from inappropriate treatment. If someone gives you feedback on your actions, please listen to the feedback provider. We are open to the feedback we receive and we will take the feedback into account in our own activities in the future.

If you have encountered harassment or unfair treatment

Please tell about the situation immeadiately to our staff, to our confidential counsellors or other members of the Nostathan epämukavalta tuntuneen tilanteen esiin kertomalla siitä välittömästi henkilökunnalle, häirintäyhdyshenkilöille tai tapahtuman järjestäjälle, jotta voimme pohtia mikä olisi paras tapa ratkaista tilanne. Häirintäyhdyshenkilöt esitellään aina tapahtuman yhteydessä ja heidät tunnistaa sinisestä Nocpok-rintamerkistä. Oopperakomppanian häirintäyhdyshenkilöt Lauran ja Marin tavoitat sähköpostiosoitteesta info@nocpok.fi.
