Culture for All Service has published Safer space policy
Safer space refers to aiming together for practices, which increase safety. In practice, in safer spaces the personnel or the organisers of the event strive for taking responsibility of difficult situations. The contradictions or conflicts which might emerge from the different views and experiences of people will be dealt with, not just tolerated. The word ”safer” has been suggested instead of ”safe”, because it is not possible to create a totally safe space for everyone. Source: Ruskeat Tytöt: Safer space policy (in Finnish).
We have not invented the safer space policy ourselves. We have read different examples of safer space policies and edited and accommodated them to our work. This policy is not fixed: we develop them further with our collaboration partners. We update the policy when needed and when we learn something new.
The safer space policy is available in Finnish and English, and the policy will be published later in Swedish.
