Respect other people’s personal physical and mental space. Respect their right to self-determination. Do not touch anyone without asking for permission. Remember that you cannot know another person’s boundaries without asking. Ask for space for yourself, too, when you need it.
Do not mock, ridicule, belittle, exclude or embarrass anyone through your words, behavior or actions. Refrain from commenting on people’s appearance, gossiping and reinforcing stereotypes.
Do not make assumptions based on appearance or behavior. Do not make assumptions about anyone’s sexuality, gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion, values, socioeconomic background, health or functional ability.
Give space. Try to make sure that everyone has the chance to take part in the conversation. Do not steamroll other people’s opinions, and let others have their turn to speak. Also respect other people’s privacy and handle sensitive topics respectfully.
Listen and learn. Approach new topics, people and perspectives with an open mind. See every situation you encounter as an opportunity to learn something new and grow.
Apologize if you have hurt others, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
