SAFER SPACE PRINCIPLES AT PUNTALA

We are so happy to be able to celebrate punk with all of you! At Puntala we follow safer space principles. Together we make Puntala safer for everyone!

- DISCRIMINATION AND VIOLENCE FREE ZONE
There is no space for any kind of discriminatory language or behavior at Puntala. Here everyone is good as they are despite anyone's color of skin, background, sexuality, gender, shape of body or ability. There is absolutely no space for neither mental nor physical violence.

- RESPECT EVERYONE'S OWN SPACE
Don't touch anyone without their consent. Let everybody enjoy the gigs and the festival without being touched or harassed.

- NO MEANS NO! If you are asked to stop or you are told "no!", listen! NO MEANS NO EVERY SINGLE TIME!

- EVERY BODY IS A GOOD BODY
Don't comment on anyone's appearance unless you are asked to.

- DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS
Don't assume anyone's gender, sexuality, ability or background.

- TAKE CRITICISM, LISTEN AND CHANGE YOUR BEHAVIOR IF NEEDED
We all make mistakes and usually we mean no harm. If you are criticized by your behavior,
listen, take responsibility and correct your behavior if needed. Dialogue is the key!

- ENJOY PUNTALA AND DO YOUR PART THAT EVERYONE ELSE CAN ENJOY IT TOO!
Punk is best! Let's make sure it is best for everybody by taking care of others.
TOGETHER WE MAKE IT A BETTER AND A SAFER SPACE FOR EVERYONE OF US!
