Principles of a Safe Space at Porvoo Clubhouse

Be Open and Tolerant

• We approach people, topics, and situations with an open mind and without prejudice.
• We let everyone be themselves. No one is discriminated against, and we do not tolerate hate speech directed at any group.
• Together, we create a safe environment.

Show Respect

• We respect everyone’s personal privacy, space, and boundaries. This applies to physical, psychological, and spiritual integrity.
• We treat others with kindness and appreciation. We also respect the property of others.
• We have zero tolerance for harassment. Profanity, offensive language, and sexual harassment in any form are strictly prohibited.
• Disruptive borrowing or soliciting does not belong in a safe atmosphere.

Take Responsibility

• We look after the safe space together with others.
• If you notice someone offending another person, intervene in the situation.
• If you make a mistake, apologize and act differently in the future.
• Everyone arrives at the Clubhouse sober and without substances. We do not glorify substance use, though constructive discussion on the topic is allowed.
• We do not promote religious or political views at the Clubhouse.

Relax

• Participate in activities as yourself. Feel free to ask questions and join the conversation if you are unsure about something.
• Here, you are allowed to try, make mistakes, and succeed! There is always something new to learn.

Community Rules and Consequences

• Disruptive or threatening behavior will lead to a temporary or permanent termination of membership at the Clubhouse.
• Private and internal matters heard at the Clubhouse remain within the house. We are loyal to the community: we do not harm the Clubhouse’s operations or reputation, even in our free time.
