At ReDI, we follow the four values, which give an orientation on our behaviours and actions, both within the community and within ourselves as a team. Here what the ReDI values mean to us:
In the sense of impactful. We are a community moved by the wish to help others grow and are actively oriented towards this goal. Being helpful means trying to generate a real change in the life of others.
This is the most important value and has to do with experimenting in a fun and playful fashion. It refers to trying out new things and, if need be, making mistakes together and learning from them. It also means trying to build the "ideal learning environment" we all wanted to have in our own personal experiences.
Means trustful, in relation to the scope of our actions. We want to deliver the best quality of learning services to our learners because they are themselves relying on us for their education and deserve high-quality training from professionals like you.
We are "partners in crime" for our community to do things they didn’t even think they’d be capable of doing at the beginning. It means empowering others to understand they can cross their own limits, far beyond what they might have originally thought. Change is reflected the students also by the teachers because, through their flexibility and willingness to change, they are leading students to achieve their goals.
Our DEI Statement
Our Code of Conduct
ReDI School aims to be a safe learning environment for all of its community members. The ReDI Code of Conduct sets the standards that allow us to keep our community safe and healthy, both online and offline. It establishes standards necessary to maintain and protect an environment conducive to learning and in keeping with the objectives of the program. The code of conduct is important to:
maintain and protect an environment conducive to learning and in keeping with the objectives of our ReDI School programs
protect our community and ensure that EVERYONE feels safe and comfortable in the online environment
By signing the Volunteer Agreement at the beginning of their teaching experience, volunteers agree to respect the ReDI Code of Conduct during their volunteer experience and interactions with students, other volunteers, as well as with the ReDI team and community.
Code Outline
The ReDI community comprises students and volunteers united by their participation in and commitment to respectful intellectual exchange. Therefore, ReDI School commits to providing an environment where the rights, safety, dignity and worth of every individual are respected.
The intellectual exchange also implies acting responsibly in a community setting, with respect for the rights of other students and volunteers and for the property, shared resources, and agreements associated with that community.
Since the code is directed toward maintaining the standards of the ReDI community and the local community, ReDI School reserves the right to dismiss students or volunteers whose conduct is objectionable and/or interferes with the educational objectives of the School or another member of the community.
How does ReDI define objectionable conduct?
Objectionable conduct is defined as harassment, unwanted contact, or otherwise objectionable behavior, whether directed at or independent of other ReDI School community members. This includes:
Insults, gestures, or abusive words, in the immediate presence and/or directed to another person that may reasonably cause emotional distress or provoke a violent response. How this applies to an online environment:
The direct or indirect use of insults, degrading language, or disrespectful comments on the opinions of others during video calls and/or in written instant communication are not tolerated under any circumstances.
Community members are expected to refer to their colleagues by their preferred names and personal pronouns (such as “he/him,” “she/her,” or “they/them”), as long as they have been communicated. Failure to do so on purpose will be considered abusive behaviour and will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
Lewd or indecent conduct during a ReDI School sponsored activity. This includes, but is not limited to, any unauthorised use of electronic or other devices to make an audio or video record that would be an invasion of privacy. How this applies to an online environment:
The video recording or taking of screenshots involving other community members during classes, events and any other ReDI activity will only be tolerated with the explicit permission of all the parties involved. Successive use of such media content in different platforms and contexts will require the explicit written permission of all the parties involved. Failure to secure an explicit authorisation will constitute a breach of the Code of Conduct and will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
Other types of prohibited discrimination are discriminatory harassment, nonconsensual personal contact, and sexual harassment as defined by law. How this applies to an online environment:
Instant messages, emails, voice messages, or video gestures containing discriminating attitudes towards other ReDI community members will not be tolerated under any circumstances, irrespective of whether they take place during a ReDI event or outside of this context.
Nonconsensual personal contact in an online environment includes unauthorised contact of another community member for sexual and/or romantic purposes or in a way that could reasonably cause emotional distress.
