GenPen Community Code
Welcome to our GenPen Community Code! Our Community Code is simply a list of rules that we want to follow when we are at workshops, events, or working together! Our goal is to ensure a safe, healthy, and warm environment for all the members on our GenPen team and our workshop attendees.
Community Code
-
Be respectful of your peers and instructors!
-
Do not discriminate based on race, age, sexuality, gender, or in any way, for this is very intolerable!
-
Ask questions when you need help. After all, they say, “One who asks a question is a fool for five minutes. One who does not ask is a fool for life” - Confucius (Edited by Lakshyaa and Kailani, we don’t like how Confucius uses “he” instead of “one”) :)
-
Be on time! For the formal workshops with signups, be mindful of your attendance, and fill out absence forms if you cannot attend a meeting!
-
When speaking, do not interrupt others, as that will make your peers feel uncomfortable. To keep things in an organized manner, please try to raise your hand!
-
Don’t be afraid to share your ideas!
-
Come to our workshops with a mindset ready to write and wanting to achieve your goals! That means do your best, be open to new ideas, and collaborate when possible and comfortable.
-
And lastly, have fun! We are trying to make this an enjoyable experience for everyone :)
