Reply To: Ideas for helping new cruisers acclimate?
I was reading an article and came across this:
Nine
Worlds went out of its way to be as accepting and safe as humanly
possible, distributing color-coded lapel clips to indicate your level of
comfort when interacting with strangers. A red clip meant “leave me
alone.” A green clip, and you’d soon be making friends. You could also
wear a badge with your preferred gender pronouns, and there were jugs of
ice water in all the hallways in case anyone got dehydrated.
The color coded clips sound interesting. We could just buy colored paper clips for people to put on their lanyards, though getting people to understand the meaning may take some work. I remember people grabbing @chicazul’s ambassador/talk to me buttons and wearing both because ‘buttons!’
