PARTICIPANT CODE OF CONDUCT
This Upschool Africa code of conduct (“Code of Conduct”) outlines our expectations for behaviour from all participants of the Upschool Africa programs and applies to all interactions including networking, classes, webinars, interviews, meetings, panels, social media, and chat.
It outlines the consequences for unacceptable behaviour.
By participating in our different training, all students, speakers, participants, media, exhibitors, mentors, media representatives, service providers, and others (collectively “participants”, “you”, or “your”) agree to abide by this Code of Conduct.
The Upschool Africa Hosts (“hosts”) are dedicated to providing a harassment-free and inclusive event experience for everyone regardless of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disabilities, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, nationality, race, age, religion, gender, or other protected category.
Participants asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately.
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
The hosts expect that participants will:
- Be considerate and respectful to all mentors, hosts, admins, volunteers and fellow participants
- Refrain from any demeaning, offensive, discriminatory, or harassing behaviour, materials, and speech.
- Speak up if they observe anything at an event that conflicts with this Code of Conduct. If you are being harassed or feel uncomfortable, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of the Upschool Africa team immediately. All reports will be addressed immediately and remain confidential.
UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR
Unacceptable behaviour from any community member will not be tolerated. Unacceptable behaviour includes, but is not limited to:
