Sentella Foundation Code of Conduct

Our Commitment

The Sentella Foundation is dedicated to fostering a community that embodies the spirit of radical inclusion, self-expression, and communal effort. We expect all participants—attendees, volunteers, and organizers—to contribute to a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment, both during our events and in associated online spaces.

Scope

This Code of Conduct applies to all Sentella Foundation events, including pre- and post-event activities, online forums, and any interactions under the Foundation's auspices.

Expected Behaviour

Participants are expected to:

1. Respect Others: Treat all individuals with dignity, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, or religion.
2. Practice Radical Inclusion: Welcome and respect the stranger; no prerequisites exist for participation in our community.
3. Engage in Communal Effort: Collaborate and cooperate to create and maintain a supportive environment.
4. Exercise Civic Responsibility: Abide by local laws and communicate community responsibilities to participants.

Limitations

While we strive to uphold these standards within our events, the Sentella Foundation does not have authority over external gatherings or the broader community. This Code of Conduct is not a substitute for legal action and does not guarantee the resolution of all issues.
