At LIANZA we champion free speech and open access to information for everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, or religion - because those values are the bedrock on which our profession is built. Those values stem from a desire to support and enhance our society, and from a solid respect for our fellow humans.
Because of that respect, at LIANZA we aspire to a community where all comers feel welcomed, safe, included, and supported in our online spaces.
To make this happen we hold the following principles:
We are open in our approach to others
We can have the difficult conversations about key issues, but we challenge the arguments, not the person – personal attacks are never okay
No matter our personal beliefs, we honour other’s boundaries
We treat others with kindness and respect
We work collaboratively
We take it very seriously if members of our community are made to feel unsafe in any way. When using Recollect if you post something that infringes on somebody else’s well-being or in clear breach of our expectations then that post may be removed and depending on the severity of the situation you may even be expelled from using the site.

We invite you to comment on the topics, and upload photos of your own activities, ideas and thoughts.
