With Diane Silver

Register here

Join us for a free three-part online workshop on building community culture and safety guidelines for your local events. Our discussions will be primarily focused on dance communities; organizers of other music and song events are also welcome.

Using the CDSS Community Culture & Safety Toolkit, we’ll explore how to open and lead discussions with your community to develop and implement community standards, safety policies, and reporting procedures.

Oct. 28: Quickstart Guide to the Toolkit

In this opening session, Diane Silver will walk us through how the Community Culture & Safety Toolkit was created, how to use the document, and a quickstart guide for organizers.

Nov. 4: Shaping Culture

Our second session is a deep dive into guiding your community in discussions around culture, courtesy, and etiquette. Using provided resources, learn to set expectations at your local dance to help keep everyone safe.

Nov. 11: Maintaining a Safe Dance Space

In the third session, we’ll use the toolkit to discuss establishing clear community guidelines for organizers and dancers. We’ll also work on developing and implementing reporting procedures for when safety infractions happen.

You can attend one, two, or all three workshops.

Soon after you register, you will receive a confirmation email that includes your personal Zoom link. You’ll need this link for joining the workshops. To keep track of it, we recommend saving the email and/or creating a calendar event. To receive a reminder email, register by October 26.

These workshops will be recorded and available to view after at cdss.org/online and on our YouTube channel.
