Guidelines for Safer Spaces at Cultural Centre Valve and Our Events

Everyone is welcome at Cultural Centre Valve and events organized by Valve. In our facilities and during our events, we follow the guidelines for safer spaces. Please familiarize yourself with these guidelines before your visit.

Cultural Centre Valve promotes the implementation of the City of Oulu’s equality and non-discrimination plan, which is based on the Non-Discrimination Act and the Act on Equality between Women and Men.


Interaction
We approach one another without prejudice and as equals. We avoid making assumptions.

The Right to Be Yourself
Everyone has the right to be themselves. Discrimination and racism are not tolerated, and everyone is treated with respect and dignity.

Responsibility
Each person is responsible for their own behaviour. We allow each other the space to experience art and engage in activities. Inappropriate behavior should be addressed, and everyone has both the right and duty to intervene.

Atmosphere
We advance a positive atmosphere through our own actions. We communicate openly and respectfully.


Have you encountered problematic situations?

Please report them to Valve’s staff, a designated harassment contact person, or event organizers. You can also give feedback about our events afterward, anonymously if preferred. Voit antaa palautteesi myös jälkikäteen ja anonyymisti palautelomakkeemme kautta.
