Election post
Sci-fi and fantasy society is one of the most inclusive societies out there. People from all cultures, ages, subjects, and backgrounds come together to rejoice in our mutual passion for sci-fi and fantasy culture, games and literature. But oftentimes, this broad mix can lead to struggles between members who may have trouble reconciling different beliefs, cultures or simple perspectives on life.
The reason I would be great for this position is first of all my regular attendance to the society! Since joining, I have actively participated at games night every Wednesday and have for that reason established a close connection with lots of members of the society. I hope this would give individuals who feel the need to reach out a motivation to come to me in private and discuss any issues in a confidential environment.
Furthermore, having completed a mediation course during my school time has prepared me with skills of active listening and dispute resolution. This includes one-to-one discussions between members with issues amongst themselves, but also individual sessions similar to counselling (although I am not qualified for permanent sessions).
My proposals include a welfare discord account where individuals could contact me privately through the group chat and a termly welfare and inclusion form to check in on everyones wellbeing and make sure people know they can reach out if needed!
Vote Zoe, vote welfare :)
