What is awareness?
Awareness is an English word.
It means “to pay attention”.
Everyone should be comfortable at the rally.
The awareness team pays attention.
They watch out for insults and discrimination.
Nevertheless, all people should look out for each other.
They should be nice to each other.
The awareness team can also help you.
They know a lot about accessibility at the rally.
For example, they can tell you
– Where the accessible toilets are.
– where the retreat is.
– where it is quieter.
– where there are translations into simple language.
You can ask the awareness team anything.
The awareness team can also show you the way.
For example, the way to the toilet.
Or the way to the bus stop.
Or the way to the taxi.
What does the awareness team look like?
All awareness people wear purple warning waistcoats.
They stand at different places on the rally.
