Safer Space Principles
At our capoeira sessions, we strive to create an environment where everyone feels welcome and safe. Each participant has the right to engage in their own way and at their own pace. We respect each other’s boundaries, diverse backgrounds, and ways of being.
We do not tolerate violence or discrimination based on skin colour, background, gender, sexuality, age, or ability. Everyone has the right to say "no," and our support contacts are always available to listen and assist.
Support Contacts:
- Olli Ulkuniemi
- Marjukka Huttunen.
