LOOOM COLLAB: Free Space Survey
We are passionate about creating "free spaces" - inspired by the concept of “safe spaces”, these are events free of any type of discrimination, harassment and hostility, where people can feel free to come as they are, and move as they like. In this survey, we will ask you questions about your experience regarding events safety and more. Your feedback will help us develop our future practice and policies - thank you! 

Disclaimer: we will now mention experiences of sexual violence and other type of harassment at events.

All the data collected is strictly confidential and will not be shared with the public unless previously agreed.
