## Group discussion
**Q: What can each of us do to make OceanHackWeek an optimal learning environment that is inclusive and welcoming for everyone?**

We'll post the discussion results contributed by everyone after morning of Day 1!
- Give people room to express themselves, helping them achieve what they want to achieve this week
- Be helpful and spend some time jumping start someone with coding.
- Open to new ideas and ways of approaching a problem, being approachable
- Organizers are also here to learn from others and certainly don’t have all the answers!
- Be cognizant of different locations and time zones, engagement levels
- Allow and encourage different ways to engage, not just need to engage via video - like this google doc!
- Don’t use language like “obviously” or “clearly” (don’t assume something is easy for others)
- Ask questions, all the questions.
- Cameras on, so people can see that you’re engaged
- Build bridges between all three groups by reaching out to virtual/in-person participants
- Making sure everyone is working from a common knowledge baseline
- Listen actively and pay attention +1)
- Creating specific times/spaces for individuals to bring up questions/concerns - helps shy folks get a chance to communicate
- Specifically ask folks who are quieter if they would like to contribute (but don’t pressure them)
- Listening and adjusting behaviour if someone expresses discomfort about a behaviour
- Letting others know if you are uncomfortable-- especially the person causing you the discomfort if it feels safe to do so
- Patient and understanding that everyone from different backgrounds and experiences
- Communicating in open spaces like slack channels so that others can follow or join
- Be patient with technological problems
- Using we language instead of you or I esp when learning on Project teams together
- Being a good listener and making space for others to speak their mind or answer questions especially if I’ve been the one talking
- Using inclusive language to make sure that we aren’t inadvertently accusing or attacking anyone
- Smile and show a bit of patience.


<!-- OHW20 discussion outcome
