To provide all participants with a safer, accessible, and enjoyable experience, Nordic DiGRA 2025 subscribes to safer space principles promoting inclusion and equity. These extend to all face to face and online conference interactions within and outside the venue, social programme included. We will not tolerate harassment and other forms of misconduct and will take steps to address any issue that comes to our attention.
Code of conduct
All conference participants are expected to adhere to the following guidelines:
- Be respectful and mindful of your fellow conference participants. We come from diverse backgrounds and have different lived experiences. Avoid discriminating language and assumptions based on individual aspects such as name or appearance. Respect each other’s preferred name and pronouns, visible on their name tag. Avoid unnecessary gendered language (e.g. use “Dear audience” instead of “Ladies and gentlemen”).
- Ask for consent before sharing any photos or information about conference participants or their presentations publicly (e.g. on social media).
- Be collegial and mindful of your speech and your behaviour. This includes being generous and patient in questions and discussions, listening to others and being careful not to dominate discussions, and being aware of your own privilege(s) and humbly accepting respectful corrections (or humbly correcting yourself).
- Make your presentation accessible. If presenting, follow the presenter instructions to ensure your presentation can be enjoyed by all participants.
- Should you encounter any inappropriate behaviour, please report it immediately to the conference organisers. We also have trained harassment contact persons you may contact if you encounter harassment. See below for contact information.
