Terms of participation

Last updated: 19/10/2026

These terms govern participation in the workshops of Collectiva Diversità, an initiative hosted by H.A.N.D.S. ΑΜΚΕ. By registering you confirm that you have read and accept them.

1. Participation

The workshops are addressed to adults, with or without previous experience. Participation has four steps: expression of interest through the website form, a phone call with the facilitator, participation in the introductory meeting without a contribution, and completion of registration for the cycle through a personal link. Places are limited and secured in order of priority, once the contribution has been confirmed where one has been declared. For the workshop "From me to us", the expression of interest includes a short preparation questionnaire, answered with explicit consent before the phone call.

Each workshop consists of two cycles of four and a half months, with four 90-minute meetings per month. By registering you commit to the whole cycle. The group forms during the first two meetings and then closes: registrations are accepted up to and including the second meeting of the cycle, and from then on the composition of the group stays the same. At the end of each cycle a certificate of participation is issued to those who attended the cycle.

2. Solidarity contribution

Participation is based on a solidarity contribution, the amount of which each participant chooses at registration, with the option to take part without a contribution. The first meeting of every cycle is an introductory meeting, without a contribution. The contribution applies to each subsequent meeting separately and is paid to H.A.N.D.S. ΑΜΚΕ through Viva Wallet. Contributions constitute donations to H.A.N.D.S. ΑΜΚΕ and are used to cover the costs of the workshops. Every amount paid is recorded as a donation in the books of H.A.N.D.S. ΑΜΚΕ.

3. Absences and cancellations

The solidarity contribution constitutes a donation to H.A.N.D.S. ΑΜΚΕ and is not refundable. If you are unable to attend a meeting, let us know at least 48 hours in advance at [email], so that your place remains active for the next one. If we cancel or postpone a meeting, we inform you as soon as possible and your contribution is transferred to the new date.

4. How the workshops are held

The workshops take place online, through a video-conferencing platform, with some in-person meetings. The connection link and the details of each meeting are sent by email before the meeting. The link is personal and may not be forwarded to third parties. Taking part in the online meetings requires an internet connection, a camera and a microphone.

5. Recording and photography

Meetings are not recorded by the organisers unless the consent of all participants has been requested and given in advance. Likewise, participants may not record or take screenshots. At in-person meetings photographs may be taken to promote the initiative, always after prior notice, and no one is photographed without their consent.

6. Community rules

The workshops are a space of respect, where every person takes part as they are. Behaviour that offends, excludes or belittles another person, on any ground, has no place. The organisers may ask a person to leave a meeting or workshop if their behaviour endangers the safety or the experience of others. What participants share within the workshops remains confidential.

7. Nature of the workshops

The personal development and self-awareness workshops are educational and experiential. They are not psychotherapy, medical care or any other health service, and do not replace them. If you are facing an issue that requires specialised support, please turn to an appropriate professional.

8. Creations

Works created in the workshops (lyrics, music, texts) belong to their creators. Any public presentation or publication of a collective work is made with the agreement of the people who took part in creating it.

9. Personal data

The processing of your personal data is described in the Privacy policy.

10. Changes

These terms may be updated. The terms published at the time of registration apply to each participation. For any question, write to [email].
