Besides the workshops, we also offer some other activities.
Please check THIS POST to see all available facilities and accessibility info.
Social areas
We have both indoor and an outdoor social areas on the 1st floor. On the groundfloor (in the kitchen) you will find a large social area as well.
The kitchen wil also be the place where our snack buffet is served during the entire event.
The outdoor space has wooden benches and we can put chairs out.
It’s not allowed to smoke there and we advise to keep talk vanilla. Also: no alcohol or other recreational drugs, just as the rest of the building!
The downstairs area has a lot of seating options and some tables will be equipped with entertaining and/or conversational games. Feel free to bring your own games as well, but please be aware we do not accept responsibility for them.
Representation “Shrine”
We value diversity and inclusivity and we want to give our participants the opportunity to represent and show their (pride) colours.
Also, we would love to make the variety in participants visible, to show the unity in diversity.
In order to do this, we will set up a corner in our 1st floor area, where you can place something that represents you or what is important to you.
This can be anything, as long as it is a positive and inclusive symbol *, for example:
- A small prideflag
- A something that shows your (cultural, social, etc.) heritage
- An awareness symbol
- A religious/spiritual symbol
- Something that represents you as a person
- Something that represents a person who is no longer with us and was important to you or your journey so far
The orga and crew will make sure there are always some (LED-) candles burning on our shrine.
We of course do not want to limit your representation or creativity, but there are some rules and guidelines:
- Do not touch each others stuff
- No actual candles / fire (feel free to add some LED’s or glowsticks)
- Take your item home when you leave
- Make sure you don’t out anyone that is (or was) not out yet
- We might want to take a picture for Fetlife/our website for future use. Please place your item(s) on the top shelf if you don’t want that and we will make sure they are excluded.
- No promotion for events, services or other (commercial or non-profit) activities.
There is always a chance a person feels uncomfortable with someone else their item, because they might disagree with what it stands for or maybe have a bad experience with a certain group. This is also ok, as long as we can be respectful and open towards eachother as persons.
Our “shrine” (or the event in general) is not meant to provoke argument or a place to spread excluding or otherwise harmful messages. We do however encourage dialogue.
*with “positive and inclusive” we mean: anything that is not actively used or can clearly be interpreted as a symbolism for hate, harmful stereotypes, exclusion, violence, war(crimes), etc.
Examples:
– We welcome flags of countries, but not of violent or excluding regimes or organizations
– We welcome feminist symbols, but no TERF propaganda
Paint your own pronoun button
A pronoun button is incuded in your ticketprice (accepting and wearing is of course voluntary).
Some are already coloured, some are not.
The “blanks” can be used for those who use pronouns that we did not pre-print and/or to indicate other things that you might feel is important (for instance a visual or audio impairment).
Every attendee gets one pronoun button for free and more can be purchased for €1,- each.
We will set up a station where you can (re)decorate yours in your preferred colorscheme.
The buttons come with a clip/pin combo, so your clothing won’t be damaged.
