In light of recent devastating developments in Gaza (as well as the issue of Israel and Palestine which has been going on for decades), the mediators are thus reaching out to the general LAS community to inquire about your needs, wants, and wishes in order to create and shape a safe space. We ask you to fill out the following form so that the Mediators can best assist you in feeling as well as possible within LAS.
Our understanding of a safe space is dependent on your requests, it could be a space for emotional conversations without judgment/bias/conflict, but not limited to it. We will organize multiple events to accommodate different requests if the results do not display consensus. We also emphasize that our goal in this initiative prioritizes the cohesion of our LAS community despite the divided perspectives.
We have our own suggestions, but please do not feel limited by them and feel free to express what you feel is the best way to create safe space.
All answers are absolutely anonymous, and will not be disclosed to anyone/other members of the student council other than the Mediators (Rahel, Nicole, Yavuz) themselves.
