Awareness

The awareness persons are support persons who you can turn to if you feel like you have encountered an uncomfortable situation, such as harassment, with another participant, guest, speaker, volunteer, or somebody else. They advise and support students who have encountered harassment, assault, discrimination, bullying, or other unequal treatment.

Awareness persons are neither official authorities (e.g. police), nor medical personnel (e.g. nurses), but they are trained volunteers who handle mediation and provide guidance during the time of distress. You can be in contact with them, even if you are not the subject of harassment, but have seen harassment or want to talk about harassment prevention.

The awareness persons will not take any further action without the consent of the person concerned, and the discussions are strictly confidential, unless a third-party intervention is absolutely necessary.

The awareness persons can also be approached in situations where you might need some minor first aid assistance, or whenever you need guidance to find the right person during the time of distress.

Defining harassment is difficult, because it is always related with the person’s feelings of the experience. Something what is normal to you, might be inappropriate for someone else. Harassment is any kind of action or behavior, which continues, even after the target has told it’s out of line. To give a rough idea, Harassment may include, for example,   

  • mental or physical bullying   
  • Threatening  
  • unequal treatment  
  • discrimination   
  • distressing messages  
  • inappropriate remarks  
  • untruthful gossip  
  • Unconsensual physical touch   

or any other activity that the target of harassment feels uncomfortable or offensive.  

In case of any of the above-mentioned incidents, you can contact the Awareness Persons in the following ways:   

  • Approaching an awareness person during the Student Conference session, where they can be easily identified while wearing a neon reflective vest. This is the quickest and the easiest way.
  • Contact them via the conference emergency number (+420777019122 
  • You do not need to give your contact information, unless you wish to do so.  

If you need assistance during the conference, please contact:
