Security and Anonymity
Because the Meevaart is a public building, this gives many a feeling of safety, because no one knows for which organization you are visiting.
During the workshops, our activities will take place behind closed doors in a space reserved only for us. We hope to create a pleasant creative atmosphere where everyone can feel at ease.
Respect for your privacy is our top priority: during workshops you decide whether and how you take the stage, which we offer you. If photography or filming takes place during a workshop, this will ALWAYS be clearly indicated in advance. Moreover, the same workshop will also be repeated without the presence of cameras.

Safety and anonymity
The goal of the Trans Art School is to safely offer a creative stage for our community. That's why safety and respect for all participants will be emphasized during the workshops.
As the workshops take place in the Meevaart, a public building, nobody will know what organization you're visiting. The workshops take place behind closed doors in spaces that are exclusively reserved for participants of the workshops. By doing so, we create a pleasant, creative atmosphere in which everybody feels at ease.
We also highly value your privacy. That's why you decide during workshops if and how you take the stage. Moreover, we'll let you know clearly and in advance if there will be cameras present that take pictures and videos of the workshop. Every workshop will also take place without cameras present.
