Dear all,
In October my colleague Michelle Boon sent the mail you find below. We would like to invite those who have not yet responded but still want to do so. Please post your reaction to the talkpage https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Nederland/Organising_events:_avoiding_sensory_overload. We will make a summary of the reactions at the end of January.
Kind regards,
Denise Jansen Wikimedia Nederland

Like many other affiliates, Wikimedia Nederland hosts several events per year. We do our best to make these events an inclusive and pleasant environment for all participants.
Last summer, there was a mail thread on Wikimedia-l < https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2018-August/090914.html%3E on sensory overload https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_overload at Wikimedia events. We would like to learn how we can adapt our events to support people who experience sensory overload during events. With this we hope to create a safe and pleasant environment for all.
In order to learn, we want to hear from you. We therefore made a page < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Nederland/Organising_events:_avoid... with more information about this initiative. On the talkpage < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Nederland/Organising_events:_...
there
is room for sharing ideas and experiences, and discussing potential solutions.
Kind regards,
Denise Jansen Projectleider Wikimedia Nederland
