INCLUSIVENESS POLICY

The Global Game Jam® (GGJ) focuses on bringing communities together through
collaboration, innovation and experimentation. No sexism, racism, discrimination
or any kind of exclusion will be tolerated in association with the GGJ and we
reserve the right to refuse and/or remove content based on our principles. Our
communities cross international boundaries, but are not immune to governmental
and geopolitical challenges.  Citizenship, nationality and national origin are
not barriers to participation in Global Game Jam. We are vocal and active  about
these values. We encourage inclusive and welcoming environments in all our
locations. We encourage a free and open activity where creativity should know no
censorship and we hope all participants will exercise their creative freedoms.
We take pride in our jammers and organizers, but the Global Game Jam Inc. is not
liable for anyone's specific views and opinions.
 


CODE OF CONDUCT


PURPOSE

The Global Game Jam® (GGJ) focuses on bringing communities together through
collaboration, innovation, and experimentation and our website engages that
spirit. ‬As‭ ‬such,‭ ‬we‭ ‬are‭ ‬committed‭ ‬to‭ ‬providing‭ ‬a‭ ‬friendly,‭
‬safe,‭ ‬and‭ ‬welcoming‭ ‬environment‭ ‬for‭ ‬all,‭ ‬regardless‭ ‬of‭ ‬gender,‭
‬sexual‭ ‬orientation,‭ ‬ability,‭ ‬appearance, ethnicity,‭ national origin,
‬citizenship, socioeconomic‭ ‬status,‭ ‬and‭ faith (‬or‭ ‬lack‭ ‬thereof‭)‬.‭


This‭ ‬code‭ ‬of‭ ‬conduct‭ ‬outlines‭ ‬our‭ ‬guidelines ‬for‭ ‬all‭ ‬those‭
‬who‭ ‬participate‭ ‬in‭ ‬our‭ ‬community,‭ ‬as‭ ‬well‭ ‬as‭ ‬the‭
‬consequences‭ ‬for‭ ‬unacceptable‭ ‬behavior. We‭ ‬invite‭ ‬all‭ ‬those‭ ‬who‭
‬participate‭ ‬in‭ GGJ‭ ‬to‭ ‬help‭ ‬us‭ maintain these guidelines and ‬create‭
‬safe‭ ‬and‭ ‬positive‭ ‬experiences‭ ‬for‭ ‬everyone.
 


‏APPROPRIATE ‬BEHAVIOR

We wish for GGJ participants to exercise‭ ‬consideration‭ ‬and‭ ‬respect‭ ‬in‭
their ‬speech‭ ‬and‭ ‬actions, attempt‭ ‬collaboration‭ ‬before‭ ‬conflict, and
refrain‭ ‬from‭ ‬demeaning,‭ ‬discriminatory,‭ ‬or‭ ‬harassing‭ ‬behavior‭ ‬and‭
‬speech. We also expect the same consideration and respect to be applied to
games and content created during GGJ events.


Be‭ ‬mindful‭ ‬of‭ ‬your‭ ‬surroundings‭ ‬and‭ ‬of‭ ‬your‭ ‬fellow‭
‬participants.‭ ‬Alert‭ ‬community‭ ‬leaders and site organizers immediately‭
‬if‭ ‬you‭ ‬notice‭ ‬a‭ ‬dangerous‭ ‬situation,‭ ‬someone‭ ‬in‭ ‬distress,‭ ‬or‭
‬violations‭ ‬of‭ ‬this‭ ‬Code‭ ‬of‭ ‬Conduct,‭ ‬even‭ ‬if‭ ‬they‭ ‬seem‭
‬inconsequential.
 


UNACCEPTABLE‭ ‬BEHAVIOR

Unacceptable‭ ‬behaviors‭ ‬include:‭ ‬intimidating,‭ ‬harassing,‭ ‬abusive,‭
‬discriminatory,‭ ‬derogatory‭ ‬or‭ ‬demeaning‭ ‬speech‭ ‬or‭ actions‭ ‬by‭
‬any‭ ‬participant‭ ‬in‭ ‬our‭ ‬site locations or‭ ‬online community,‭ ‬at‭
‬all‭ ‬related‭ ‬events‭ ‬and‭ ‬in‭ ‬one-on-one‭ ‬communications‭ ‬carried‭
‬out‭ ‬in‭ ‬the‭ ‬context‭ ‬of‭ ‬community‭ ‬business.‭ ‬Community‭ ‬event‭
‬venues‭ ‬may‭ ‬be‭ ‬shared‭ ‬with‭ ‬members‭ ‬of‭ ‬the‭ ‬public‭; ‬please‭ ‬be‭
‬respectful‭ ‬to‭ ‬all‭ ‬patrons‭ ‬of‭ ‬these‭ ‬locations and abide by the rules
of the venue as well as this GGJ Code of Conduct.


Harassment‭ ‬includes:‭ ‬harmful‭ ‬or‭ ‬prejudicial‭ ‬verbal‭ ‬or‭ ‬written‭
‬comments‭ ‬related‭ ‬to‭ ‬gender,‭ ‬sexual‭ ‬orientation,‭ age, ‬ability,‭
‬appearance, ethnicity,‭ national origin, ‬citizenship, socioeconomic‭ ‬status,‭
‬or‭ ‬religion‭; ‬deliberate‭ ‬intimidation,‭ ‬stalking‭ ‬or‭ ‬following‭;
‬harassing‭ ‬photography‭ ‬or‭ ‬recording‭; ‬sustained‭ ‬disruption‭ ‬of‭
‬talks‭ ‬or‭ ‬other‭ ‬events‭; ‬inappropriate‭ ‬physical‭ ‬contact; ‬and‭
‬unwelcome‭ ‬sexual‭ ‬attention.
 


CONSEQUENCES‭ ‬OF‭ ‬UNACCEPTABLE‭ ‬BEHAVIOR

Anyone‭ ‬asked‭ ‬to‭ ‬stop‭ ‬unacceptable‭ ‬behavior‭ ‬is‭ ‬expected‭ ‬to‭
‬comply‭ ‬immediately.


If‭ ‬a‭ ‬community‭ ‬member‭ ‬engages‭ ‬in‭ ‬unacceptable‭ ‬behavior,‭ ‬local
‬GGJ organizers‭ ‬may‭ ‬take‭ action‭ to stop the unacceptable behavior,‭ ‬up‭
‬to‭ ‬and‭ ‬including‭ ‬a‭ ‬temporary‭ ‬ban‭ ‬or‭ ‬permanent‭ ‬expulsion‭ ‬from‭
‬the‭ GGJ ‬community‭ ‬without‭ ‬warning‭ (‬and‭ ‬without‭ ‬refund‭ ‬in‭ ‬the‭
‬case‭ ‬of‭ ‬a‭ ‬paid‭ ‬event‭)‬.
 


‏IF‭ ‬YOU‭ ‬WITNESS‭ ‬OR‭ ‬ARE‭ ‬SUBJECT‭ ‬TO‭ ‬UNACCEPTABLE‭ ‬BEHAVIOR

If‭ ‬you‭ ‬are‭ ‬subject‭ ‬to‭ ‬or‭ ‬witness‭ ‬unacceptable‭ ‬behavior,‭ ‬or‭

‬grievance.

‬otherwise‭; ‬sponsors‭; ‬and‭ ‬other‭ ‬guests‭) ‬to‭ ‬abide‭ ‬by‭ ‬this‭ ‬Code‭
‬of‭ ‬Conduct‭ ‬in‭ ‬all‭ ‬GGJ ‬venues‭—‬online‭ ‬and‭ ‬in-person‭—‬as‭ ‬well‭
‬as‭ ‬in‭ ‬all‭ ‬one-on-one‭ ‬or group communications‭ ‬pertaining‭ ‬to‭
‬community‭ ‬business.
