Safety and Code of Conduct
The Youth Summit is an international online meeting. People from all around the world are joining, which is great! This also means that we all come from different backgrounds and various cultural understandings. We ask you to be aware of this diversity, accept different points of view and engage in a respectful manner. Of course, racism, sexism and alike are not opinions / points of view and should be reported immediately.
The idea of the Youth Summit is to get in touch and discuss the respective topics with new people. Also, our team does not know everyone joining the event! Therefore, we ask you to share your contact details with caution. To keep in touch, you can join the young@mission21 network on social media and subscribe to our newsletter.
If you do not feel comfortable or someone is getting too close to you or if there is an incident with another participant, please report this to us (via WhatsApp at 0041 61 260 22 88 or at young@mission-21.org). You can turn off sound and video anytime.
Not everyone likes their pictures or screenshots of their engagement to be taken. We understand and appreciate your wish to do so, for example to share your excitement about the event with others. However, if you want to take pictures or screenshots, we ask you to make sure everyone whose picture, video, name or alike is visible is comfortable with this and agrees to you taking a picture or a screenshot. This also applies to other forms of recording for any possible purpose.
Terms and Conditions
The Youth Summit is an international event that aims at intercultural exchange and networking. By attending the Youth Summit, you confirm that you will behave in a respectful and tolerant manner towards other participants, administrators and speakers. Verbal attacks, discrimination, sexism or racism will not be tolerated and may lead to exclusion from the event and legal consequences. The same applies to the publication of advertisements or offensive content (pornography, violence, etc.).
For publication purposes, parts of the Youth Summit may be captured in pictures. Those who wish to have their images excluded from publication can notify us by sending an email to young@mission-21.org. With your registration you have accepted Mission 21's Privacy Policy. Since not everyone can see the list of persons who wish their images to be excluded, we ask you to make sure everyone agrees to it when you take a picture or screenshot yourself.
