We nurture the development of the [D4CR Guide](http://childrensdesignguide.org) to make a change in the world. We support the D4CR community to learn, share, make connections and collaborate on something greater than any individual person or organisation. Individuals can contribute by joining one of the [existing working groups or Local Chapters](/working-groups-local-chapters.md) or launching a new one. Further ways of supporting the D4CR community include donations, sponsorships and other collaboration. ### **WE BELIEVE IN DIFFERENCE AND INCLUSION** Everyone has the same right to be here as you do. Treat everyone as you would like to be treated. Respect everyone's right to be heard. Share the conversation so that everyone has an opportunity to speak. Endeavour to resolve misunderstandings directly, through open dialogue and respectful feedback. ### **WE BUILD OUR DESTINY** D4CR is built and led by its community. Anyone can join the community, and by joining, members can influence on the development of the D4CR. Anyone can take an active role in the course of the organisation. ### **WE OPERATE IN TRANSPARENCY, SHARED OWNERSHIP & DECISION-MAKING** Our strength is our community. Make all information accessible to everyone in the association in our common D4CR community [Google Drive folder,](/technical-tools-1/drive.md) unless there is a reason for confidentiality then still using Drive, but not public folders. We decide through collaborative decision-making with advice and consent processes throughout the D4CR community. Our steering group (formed from the D4CR board, Working group and Local Chapter leads) together nurtures the D4CR. The Steering Group composes the first draft of the strategy which is then iterated with community. Working groups and Local Chapters operate autonomously, while staying in line with the mission and values. ### **WE HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE FOR HARASSMENT** Harassment includes offensive comments, unwelcome photography or recording, sustained disruption and inappropriate contact. People who harass fellow participants will be given one warning but asked to leave the association and the community if their unwelcome actions continue. ### **WE GROW WITH POSITIVE SPIRIT AND GENEROUS NATURE** Praise and give feedback when you notice that good things are happening. Be kind and respectful towards others. Bring virtual bubbles and flowers to the room. We support “Can I help you” and “let's find out together” -attitudes.
