Awareness Code for services offered by Human Resources Development and the Bonn Graduate Center*
*This is an adapted version of the Awareness Code developed by Equal Opportunity and Diversity.
We want to create a diverse and inclusive environment at our events. It is therefore important to us that all participants feel comfortable and safe. To this end, we must all speak and act with care and make a conscious effort to avoid speech and behavior that is discriminatory, even unintentionally so. To ensure successful participation, we would like to draw your attention to the following points:
Using discrimination-sensitive language
Language is powerful. This means that words have an impact. Sometimes, certain terms can be present in everyday language, and we might use them without knowing that they hurt and discriminate against others. Adopting a conscious approach to our own language and taking self-determination into account in the language we use (e.g. by respecting desired pronouns or self-identifiers) should be a matter of course. Bear in mind that it is not your intention that determines whether you are using discriminatory words, but the person to whom you are speaking. An overview of discrimination-sensitive terms produced by the Equal Opportunity and Diversity team can be found by going to chancengerechtigkeit.uni-bonn.de/en.
Respecting boundaries
Emotional stress cannot be ruled out where certain subjects are involved. Be aware of your own boundaries and those of others. Only the individual(s) affected can determine how their lived experience can be spoken about and how to proceed.
Acknowledging discriminatory experiences
If a person shares their experiences of abusive and/or discriminatory behavior, it should not be doubted or trivialized. It is important to call it out for what it is, be this racism, antisemitism, sexism or whatever it might be.
Enabling retreat
We will understand if you feel the need to leave the room during an event. If you need a room to withdraw to for a while during a face-to-face event, please do not hesitate to speak to someone in our offices, the event team or the trainer.
Agreements for our Cooperation
- We treat each other with respect and remain objective.
- We share our knowledge and competences with the group.
- We accept the subjective perspective of others, even if we disagree.
- We welcome every contribution as potentially beneficial to the discussion and do not judge their quality.
- We consider mistakes and failures as valuable resources for our own learning.
- Our language is respectful and appreciative of each other. We use language that is sensitive to discrimination. We take into account that not everyone is similarly sensitised in this respect, and we do not judge but support each other.
- We take care to maintain a balanced proportion of our own speech and that of others.
- Disruptions and discomfort have priority. If something keeps us from working objectively with each other, we clarify it first.
- We deal with different perspectives and realities of life in an appreciative way.
- Everyone shares responsibility for the process and for the outcome of the event. Together we make sure that the agreed rules are respected.
Feedback
If the conditions listed above are not met or if you have any suggestions for improvement, please send feedback to the event team, e.g. via the email address from which you received the information from us about the event in question or using the anonymous evaluation form. Thank you very much.
