We ask you to follow the principles for safer space when attending the Social Work Research Days. Safer spaces are places where all participants work together to create an atmosphere that is as respectful, non-discriminatory, and open to learning as possible. In practice, it is a question of kindness and consideration for others.
Discussions about diversity, discrimination and equality affect people differently and unequally depending on their own position and experiences. Discomfort when talking about power structures is not always a sign of unsafety but can also be a sign of learning. We hope that you will interpret the principles for safer space in a context-specific way, taking into account your own and others' social position in each discussion situation.
If you encounter or witness discrimination or harassment during an event, or if you are left feeling uncomfortable or uncertain, please make a low-threshold contact with the contact persons face-to-face, by phone, email or via the information desk. At the Social Work Research Days, the contact persons are Inka Söderström (inka.soderstrom@helsinki.fi / tel. +358 (0)504489890 / English and Finnish) and Mona Livholts (mona.livholts@helsinki.fi / tel. +358 (0)503052099 / English and Swedish).
These principles for safer spaces have been created based on the principles of safer spaces of the University of Helsinki and the Anti-Racist Forum, as well as the article "From safe spaces to brave spaces: a new way to frame dialogue around diversity and social justice" by Arao and Clemens (2013) in the book "From the art of effective facilitation" (ed. Landreman).
* The term "safer space" has become established to mean a space committed to promoting safety and non-discrimination. Talking about "safer spaces" rather than safe spaces recognizes that it is not possible to create a completely safe space for all.
