Hello people of Bike Polo
Since last Mallet Dolorosa I’ve been playing with the idea of creating an Awareness Team Concept for our sport. Supporting the diversity and inclusivity in every team, not only here in Berlin but all arround the Polo Universe.
Create awareness around hurtful language that is sadly being used till this Day, structural problems created through Patriarchy, toxic masculinity/femininity so we can create a more welcoming environment for all People in our Sport.
Some of talking points that are important to cover Gender diversity ,Neurodiversity ,Mental or physical Disabilities.
The idea is to create a Code of conduct and shared agreement where everyone can use locally for their own club, but also an awareness team for our Competitions.
All ideas are welcome. We need your help. Maybe some of you already have experience, or had the thought but never took it to the next level, this is your chance.
Here you have an example of a shared agreement and code of conduct. Have a read and i´d be very happy for some feedback.
Code of Conduct & Shared Agreement BBP English Example.docx (2,6 MB)
Mainly what we need for something like this are following
Mission Statement: general statement of values, goals, and principles
Code of Conduct: behavioral standards and rules for members and
participants
Awareness Concept: policies and procedures; resources and measures
One version would be for the club as an organisation and we need one version also for contests.
Sincerely Apokalypse
