NATC Code of Conduct
The Taiko Community Alliance (TCA) is built on the core values of respect, heritage & evolution, empowerment, inclusivity, and transparency. NATC and NATC-R events are committed to facilitating a welcoming and respectful event for all, regardless of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, age, ability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (including religious dress and grooming), or nationality. We do not tolerate harassment of attendees in any form and we encourage all participants in our community to actively engage in creating a friendly and safe environment at Conference. This Code of Conduct shares our community expectations and applies to all who are present at Conference. People attend Conference to learn, network, and have fun. Please do so responsibly and with respect for the right of others to do likewise.
The Code
Be kind and considerate: Respect personal space and common courtesy rules for personal interaction.
Be aware of your surroundings: Be mindful of others around you to ensure a great experience for your fellow participants.
No harassment: Refrain from using, engaging in, and or displaying demeaning, harassing, aggressive, or intimidating language, materials, clothing, or behavior.
Keep an open mind: respect the perspectives and experiences of other members of the taiko community who are different from you.
Respect property: Do not damage private or communal property, especially the instruments that are essential to our craft.
Report inappropriate behavior: Promptly report any behavior that violates these expectations to a TCA Board or Staff Member directly or via email to natc@taikocommunityalliance.org.
