Talk Municipality with a Drink on the Side! π³οΈπ»
We each have different opinions, but itβs always better when we talk together! π€ Thatβs why weβre bringing people together to discuss the upcoming municipality elections β each from her/his own perspective.
βTalk Municipality with a Drink on the Sideβ is our way to support dialogue in our community, offering our space as an open and safe platform for diverse voices. As always, hate speech or behavior that is sectarian, racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise discriminatory will NOT be tolerated. This space is meant for dialogue, understanding, and finding common ground despite our differences! π§‘
For this special event, we will be hosting young candidates from both electoral lists, and we are also extending an open invitation to community members who wish to join the discussion.
π³οΈ Theme:
βThe Future of Our Municipality: Visions, Challenges, and Hopesβ
Please note the following participation guidelines:
Respect first! Bullying and intimidation got us where we are today β we aim for better. π€ Everyone will have the right to speak and respond respectfully.
Vouching system: Each participant (including guests) must be identified and vouched for by at least one unique community member. π€ This is to maintain a safe space and prevent any group from dominating the discussion.
Stay on topic: Please stick to election-related themes. ππ» When speaking, start by indicating whether you are making a question or statement.
Speaking tokens: Every participant will receive tokens β one token equals one minute of speaking time. β±
One token at a time: After speaking for a minute, you must pass the turn before speaking again. β³
Reflection time: You may use a token to give the room a one-minute pause for reflection. ππ»ββοΈ
Sharing tokens: You may also gift your token(s) to another participant to allow them more speaking time. π€
No smoking indoors. π (Take it outside if needed.)
Letβs make this a true example of how democracy and dialogue should be! See you there! β¨
