SLO: A-čas je organiziran z namenom, da aspec osebam (ljudem na spektru aseksualnosti, aromantičnosti, apaltoničnosti, agenderosti, …) ponudi prostor za pogovore z drugimi osebamiiz tega spektra. Dobrodošle so tudi tiste, ki se še odločajo, če sodijo v to skupino. Razpravljamo o različnih temah, povezanih s spektrom aseksualnosti, včasih pa se preprosto pogovarjamo o vsem, kar nam pride na misel. Odvisno je od tega, kaj si želijo udeleženke razprave.
Dogodek vodi Sara, ki srečanja začne s predstavitvami – ime, vaši zaimki in vprašanje za spoznavanje (kar olajša udeležbo tistim, ki se pridružujejo prvič). V skupini se pogosto pojavljajo ljudje, ki se nam pridružijo prvič. Srečanju se lahko pridružite kadarkoli med njegovim trajanjem (v tem primeru vas prosimo, da se predstavite). Nato vam povzamemo trenutno temo razprave.
Po predstavitvi se pogovarjamo in vprašamo, ali ima kdo kakšna vprašanja ali teme, o katerih bi želela razpravljati. Nimamo vnaprej napovedanih fiksnih tem, udeleženke pa imajo isto veliko vlogo pri oblikovanju diskusije kot facilitatorka.
Za skupino so običajno na voljo prigrizki in voda. Udeleženke si lahko pripravijo tudi druge pijače, ki jih DIH ponuja v svojih pisarnah (kava ali čaj).
Na srečanjih uporabljamo slovenščino, če jo vsi govorijo, in angleščino, če so prisotni tudi tisti, ki slovensko ne govorijo.
Srečanje se konča, ko udeleženke odidejo, kar je lahko prej ali pozneje od navedenega časa zaključka dogodka. Na srečanje ni treba prinesti ničesar.
Med dogodkom se ne fotografira. Udeleženke prosimo, da izpolnijo seznam prisotnih, v katerem navedejo svoje ime (ni nujno, da je to pravo ime) ali vzdevek, zaimke in starost. Včasih si udeleženke sami izdelajo imenske nalepke.
ENG: A-čas is organised to provide a space for aspec people (people on the asexual spectrum, aromantic spectrum, apaltonic spectrum, agender spectrum,…) to have discussions with other aspec people. It also welcomes people who are considering whether they fall under the umbrella. We discuss different things related to aspec topics, and sometimes we simply talk about anything that comes to mind. It depends on what the people present for the discussion want.
The event is facilitated by Sara, who begins the meets with introductions – the name you want to be called by, your pronouns and an icebreaker (making it easier for the people who are joining for the first time). People who are joining for the first time are quite frequent in the group. It is alright to join the meeting at any point in it’s duration, in which case you are asked to introduce yourself. The current discussion topic is then summarised to you.
After the introduction we talk and ask if anybody has any questions or topics that they want to discuss. We don’t have the fixed themes announced in advance and the participants shape the conversation as much as the host does.
Some sweet snacks and water is usually provided for the group. People can also make other drinks that DIH provides in their offices (coffee or tea).
We use Slovenian at the meetings if everybody can speak it, and English if there are any nonspeakers present.
We don’t usually have a designated stop time and the meeting ends when people leave, which can be earlier or later than the listed stop time for the event. You don’t need to bring anything to the meeting.
There are no pictures taken during the event. We ask the people to fill the attendance sheet, which asks for their name (does not have to be your real name) or nickname, pronouns and age. Sometimes people create name tags for themselves.
