In this survey, we want to find out what you consider the most important safer space principles in public spaces like libraries.
It only takes 5 minutes to answer. You can answer anonymously. Responses will be handled with confidence by the library's Sustainability Team.
The online survey for library’s customers is open from September 18 to October 2 2023.
Safer space themed pop-up workshops will be organized on all university campuses.

Safer space principles and practices aim to create a mental and physical space where everyone works to build an equal, respectful and open atmosphere and dialogue. The choice of the word "safer" instead of "safe" suggests that it is not possible to quarantee that a space is completely safe for everyone.
The development of the Safer Space Principles in the Library is part of the University's theme year of Responsible Interaction
