Code of conduct
The code of conduct for the Seeds Impact Conference is based on those of NetHui and WWGSD, with thanks.
This is a collaborative community event, focussed on encouraging and catalysing thinking about the future. Everyone’s opinions and ideas are equally valued. The event is open to all people regardless of age, background, gender, ethnicity, disability or income status. A respectful, open attitude towards others is expected from all participants, speakers, performers and volunteers. Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated and may result in your removal from the event.
The Seeds Impact Conference is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, age or religion.
We do not tolerate harassment of Seeds Impact Conference participants in any form. Participants asked to stop any harassing behaviour will be expected to comply immediately.
Any participants who break these rules will be asked to leave or will be muted. Harassment includes verbal or written comments that reinforce social structures of domination related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, age, religion; sexual images in public spaces; deliberate intimidation; stalking; following; harassing photography or recording; sustained disruption of talks or other events; inappropriate physical contact; and unwelcome sexual attention.
If a participant engages in harassing behaviour, the Seeds Impact Conference organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or asking the offender to leave the event. If you experience or witness any form of harassment or behaviour you think is inappropriate you can report this to Camia Young - camia@ohu.nz or at 021 1125 087.
In serious situations, a Seeds Impact Conference member can help participants contact NZ Police, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of Seeds Impact Conference.
We expect all participants to abide by the code of conduct in all communications related to the event on 5 th October 2023. This includes any and all pre-event correspondence and Zoom sessions. We value your participation in the Seeds Impact Conference, and want everyone to feel safe and included, and to have fun!
Seeds Impact Conference Guidelines
Inspired by the philosophy of real-world Unconferences, our event is based on the following principles:
The Four Rules
Whoever shows up are the right people
Treat one another with kindness
Whenever it starts is the right time
When it’s over, it’s over
The Four Pillars
Respect people.
Enable participation.
Stay on topic.
Keep it safe.
The Law of Two Feet/Clicks
You are always free to leave if you don’t feel you’re learning in or contributing to a discussion, it’s not what you expected, or you just want to check out another discussion.
