Event Safety Manual

Depending on what has happened, you may feel the need to process the problem or crisis situation among the organisers. This kind of discussion does not replace the need for professional help. Instead, it is an informal event to verbalise your experience and feelings. You can seek support for organising this kind of an event from the university chaplains, for instance.

1. The discussion should have a leader to ensure that it keeps moving forward and that everyone gets the chance to speak.

2. At the beginning, everyone should introduce themselves if everyone does not already know each other. At the beginning, you should also explain how the discussion will progress and agree on any possible rules for it.

3. During the discussion, you can discuss the following themes, for instance:

• What happened and how did the situation progress?
• How did the participants experience the situation and what kind of feelings did it awaken?
• What did you do correctly? What can you improve on in the future?

4. At the end, the leader sums up the discussion.
