4. Commitment to Scientific and Ethical Values
We are aware of the responsibilities of our actions. We shape our behaviours and decisions based on truth, integrity, scientific, and ethical values.

We believe that silence and thoughtful behaviour are essential for meaningful dialogue.
We are committed to provide a space where everyone can process their ideas, and every voice is heard and respected.

Interrupting speech is an obstacle to constructive dialogue.
We strive to create an environment where everyone can express their ideas without interruption and feel valued.
8. Positive Contribution with "Yes, additionally"
We are members of a collaborative and supportive community that draws from each other's ideas. In our discussions, we open the door to positive contributions by using the phrase "yes, additionally" instead of "yes, but."
9. No Judgement, Just Understanding
Every perspective contributes to our growth mindset.
We encourage discussions that are respectful, open to constructive criticism, and free from labelling comments.
10. Participation as a Priority
Our community becomes stronger when everyone feels valued, respected, and included.
We prioritize active and inclusive participation that celebrates diversity.
We embark on our learning journey with these principles that grant us the identity of students, thinkers, and responsible citizens. Guided by our principles, we will continue to protect and enrich our shared culture that brings out the best in each of us!
