Event etiquette, responsibility towards Nature, and ASDE’s Commitment to Anti-Oppression work

  • Be kind, clear, and empathetic: people will share a piece of their lives – receive what’s useful and leave the rest;
  • If you want to interact with the others, have your microphone ready. The chat is also an option for interaction. The session speaker may also share how they prefer to interact during the session (i.e. using the chat, or asking you to use your mic if you are able). Enjoy the full experience and keep in mind that in some sessions you will have the chance to contribute with your opinion and experience; be ready to unmute your microphone and make sure that people can hear you clearly. Be sure to mute yourself when you are done talking, to minimize background noise or distractions for others;
  • Be prepared for technical difficulties: before the event make sure that you have the updated Zoom version (to access all the options), restart your device before going online, make sure that you are connected to the Internet connection that you want;
  • When in a panel or in an offering where someone is sharing a screen or conducting a discussion where the interaction is low, try to keep your camera off to minimise the environmental impact;
  • Close any other windows (apps, documents, browsers) that you are not using during the SDE weekend for lower energy consumption;
  • Do not record video or audio as the ASDE team will do it for you: we know who agreed to recordings, and recording multiple times has a bigger negative impact on the environment. Soon after the event you will have access to all the documents and recordings;
  • Choose Wifi to 4G as it is less energy intensive;
  • During the event ask for help from Bria Bloom (she/her), Domari Dickinson (she/her), Janice McDonald (she/her), Josiah (he/him), Sonia Khost (she/her), or Zoe (she/her) through chat (recommended) or audio (when possible). Stephen Dill (he/him) will also be present during sessions to support folks in the main room who came late/are just signing on and are trying to access a breakout room;
  • Use the hashtag #thesdeweekend when sharing your SDE weekend experience so you can connect with the community and get even more out of this experience.
