Hi All,<br>
<br>
Picking up on this age old thread from last year. We discussed safe
spaces and then I can't remember what we did at BarnCamp 2013. <br>
<br>
I propose we have this policy at the next HacktionLab, but does
anyone wish to introduce it at the beginning?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Mike.<br>

yeah, kind of.... i was holding back from volunteering for this as i
thought it would be better if non-white men were running it. see for
example the suggestions i sent in the previous email. that said, i'm
interested in the topic and may well attend.
however, one of the things i think is quite closely aligned to this is a
"how to run a workshop" / "teaching the teachers" type session. i'd be
happy to support people in this (either when they're running a session
or before hand when they're trying to plan it out).
solidarity,
