AWARENESS
At ESF, everyone should be able to feel safe and comfortable. To achieve this it is important that everyone is aware of their boundaries and needs, as well as recognizing and respecting those of others. However, if you should have any questions, concerns or troubles, the awareness team is happy to help you.
AWARENESS TEAM
During the party you can recognize the Awareness Team by their purple vests. These Awareness Helpers walk around on the dance floors and party grounds to look out for you. If you feel uncomfortable, please approach them. If you are under duress, simply start a conversation with them. They will assess the situation and react accordingly, accompanying you to the correct services/ facilities.
Of course you can also approach all other ESF helpers (for example bar personnel) if you need help. They are happy to help you or make sure that someone else from the team assists you.
AWARENESS HOTLINE
If you need help but can’t find an awareness helper we also have a hotline. The Awareness Team is reachable during the whole party.
The phone number is: XYZ
Please do not abuse that number by calling it for a joke. It is important that our helpers can focus on helping those in need.
SAFEROOM
Room HCI E2 is a safe space to retreat to if you or others feel distressed or overwhelmed. Take note of the entrance on your way onto the grounds. All reasons to visit are valid. We are here to help, not judge.
An awareness helper will be present in the safe room at all times to ensure that everyone can feel comfortable there.
AWARENESS CONCERNS US ALL
Unfortunately, discrimination is everywhere, also at ETH. Therefore it is important for us to actively work against it. Please help us doing so by looking out for yourself and others.
CODE OF CONDUCT
At ESF the Code of Conduct of VSETH applies. You can find it here:
AFTER THE PARTY ENDS
The Awareness Team will also be here for you when the music goes quiet and the dancing comes to an end. If there is anything you would like to tell us, please contact awareness@esf.ethz.ch after the event.
