Trusteeship

The code of conduct is a set of guidelines for everyone participating in
Konkurssi’s events and activities. The purpose of the code of conduct is to lower
the threshold for reporting inappropriate behavior. All reported cases will be
addressed according to the situation.

Respect personal boundaries, both physical and emotional. Everyone sets their own
boundaries and has the right to their own body, personal space, and privacy. Everyone is
entitled to say no in any given situation. Setting and respecting your own personal
boundaries is also important.

Don’t assume. We should try to acknowledge our own possible prejudices and respect
everyone equally as people. Bullying and discrimination of any kind is unacceptable.
Always meet new people and situations without preconceptions.

Allow everyone to participate. We should accept everyone as the way they are. There is
room for everyone’s views and opinions as long as they are presented with respect for
others.

Drinking alcohol is not a requirement for participation. Whether someone drinks or
doesn’t drink is their own decision and it shouldn’t be questioned or judged. If you notice
someone being too intoxicated and in a bad shape you should help them and not leave
them alone. Being drunk does not excuse any kind of inappropriate behavior. Everyone is
responsible for their own actions and how they affect others.

Creating a safe space is all of our responsibility. Apologize if you’ve hurt someone.
Remember that you’re not only representing yourself, but also your student association.
Be open to listen, learn and grow.

If you witness or experience harassment, discrimination, or inappropriate behavior:
– Reach out to the harassment contact person of your choice, either face–to–face or
via anonymous form or email. You can contact them even if you’re unsure of the
situation
– Describe the situation to them as clearly as possible
– Discuss about the possible follow–up measures with the harassment contact person
– The harassment contact person will begin to sort out the situation. They will be in
touch with the various parties in relation to the situation and you will be updated
about it
– The situation is resolved accordingly
– End of the process. The harassment contact person will take care of possible
aftermath, and if necessary, stays in contact with the person who experienced
harassment
