Community Agreements
At Empire Arts Collective, we strive to create an environment where everyone feels safe and respected. We, as participants and facilitators, agree:
- That we will be open and welcoming to everyone who wants to participate, no matter what their identity or background.
- That we will be respectful of the time we all volunteer to each other by showing gratitude, being on time, and working hard.
- That our actions affect each other, so we will work to self regulate our emotions, give kind and helpful feedback as needed, and accept respectful feedback openly.
- That each human body has different physical, emotional, and mental needs, and that it is good to meet those needs by stopping when the body needs to stop.
- That creating things can be scary, but being open to new ideas is how all the best stuff happens.
