Code of Conduct:
The 11th Ireland Convention brings together singers for a weekend of fellowship and singing. We, the Sacred Harp Singers of Cork, want to facilitate a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming environment for everyone, that values participation regardless of age, religion (or lack thereof), singing experience, sexual orientation, gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, education, ability, or socio-economic status. We want our singing spaces and community to be built upon a culture of support and consent, with no tolerance for harassment or the abuse of power in any form.

Building this environment at our singings is everyone’s responsibility, both at the singing and throughout the weekend. We look forward to singing and working together to construct and maintain our community by seeking consent in our interpersonal interactions, being aware of how we share spaces and time, and respecting the boundaries of each other’s engagement and comfort.

Housing & Accommodation:
We regret that Cork Sacred Harp singers are unable to offer housing or to advise on accommodation for this event.
