- Verbal or non-verbal violence offences&harassment, confusion, or negative stereotypical generalisations whether visual (texts, pictures) or in audio sound are not allowed. Please correct your self when you become aware of your mistakes through help from reminders.
- Sometimes connotations to (individual or group) discrimination (e.g. age group or ethnic generalisations) occur by mistake, or out of specific thought pattern, for all of us. We can avoid confused feelings, misunderstandings or misinterpretations as "friendly cultural interpretations" of team members contributing with semantic corrections when necessary.
- Our educational spaces are not networking nor marketing places. Please avoid names. We organise networking social events separately upon request.

*Clarifications, reminders and some definitions
- Job/ work here refers to all kinds of work in a broader sense, both paid, voluntary as well as private chores for own being.
- Prejudism refers to generalising own negative experience of perceived interaction with individuals on social media or on-site as concerning the whole group of what the person seemingly represent. On a general level, it refers to drawing conclusions that connect certain situational (negative and positive) behaviours only to biased identity groups.
- Identity refers to perceived overlapping layers of different group belongings out of life long self realisation. This is always subjective and subject to change, just like our language skills. Therefore it is not fair to assume or tell how the other person should perceive own self-identity. We can only make recommendations that we have learned from large scale research made within social sciences.
- Development Education (DE) is an educational approach that aims to raise awareness and understanding of global development issues, such as poverty, inequality, and sustainability. It encourages critical thinking and active engagement in addressing these challenges. DE is often integrated into school curricula, higher education, and community programs to foster a sense of global citizenship and social responsibility. This is more linked to Development cooperation which refers to partnerships and direct efforts between organizations, governments, or countries to promote economic, social, and political development in less developed regions or communities.
- "Mixed" in our product descriptions = all genders&sex in accordance to the definitions of LGBTQ+
It is crucial for us to ensure that our customers have a clear understanding of our accessibility limitations, terms and values.
