ECHO Code of Conduct
The ECHO Online Hackathon's Code of Conduct
is a set of rules that aims to guarantee a safe
and pleasant experience for all ideathon participants.
(Online) meetings are challenging, also in terms of human interactions. That is why we created a specific code of conduct for the ECHO hackathons/ideathons.
Respect
Facilitators and participants should be considerate and professional. Always remember that insults and harassment are not tolerated.

Do not tolerate offensive behaviour
Facilitators should not make or allow jokes, sharing of images or other offensive behaviour that is racist, sexist or exclusionary. Period.
Identify offensive behaviour
If you observe offensive behaviour of any kind, point it out and identify it as such during the group meeting. Also state clearly that you will not allow this kind of behaviour.
Follow-up on offensive behaviour
If offensive behaviour happens, plan a follow-up meeting with the participant and notify the organisor.
Openess
Basic values of ideathons are sharing, inclusiveness, partnership and engagement in the ECHO cybersecurity community.
Participants should have a welcoming approach towards each other.

Foster diversity
Understand that there are many different ideas, not one perfect idea. Foster this diversity as facilitator by being open minded to all ideas, how weird they may seem to you.
Ask open questions
The best way to engage with participants during group sessions is by asking open questions. Try to understand, not judge an idea.
Encourage creativity
As a facilitator you should encourage 'out-of-the-box thinking'. The aim of hackathons/ideathons is to beyond the usual pathways and identify new market needs or solutions.
Safe
Facilitators are in charge of ensuring that the discussions groups are experienced by all participants as a safe space to share ideas.
Key to this is to respect the participants privay.

Limit recordings
Think carefully whether you really need an audio recording, screenshots or else of the meeting. The need to record should be proportionate to the goal you want to archieve with the recording.
Previous consent
Do not share video or audio recordings, screenshots, messages or any kind of material regarding the participants without their prior written consent.
Meeting etiquette
Explain and respect the ECHO hackathon/ideathon meeting etiquette at the start of the ideathon.
