General Info

Official national and academy guidelines

Rules for cultural sector

The organization of any XPUB related event (of educational nature or not) must be discussed with Aymeric and Leslie.

FYI:

XPUB staff and students

Order 💸 FREE 💸 self-tests for STAFF AND STUDENTS

"As of 23 March 2022, the Netherlands will virtually return to the ‘old normal’" (weekly/bi-weekly tests are no longer required, some may choose to continue to test weekly, others only when they have symptoms)

You can still order your free self-tests here: https://www.zelftestonderwijs.nl (this portal closed in the summer of 2022) The current recommendation is to test twice a week (obviously adjust based on the frequency of your IRL visits). You can order by lots of four, then you need to renew the order.

Instructions in English for DIY-SARS-CoV-2-virus Self-test, the packages we get from the Uni, and extra information about these tests can be found here: https://www.government.nl/topics/c/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-test/coronavirus-self-tests Flyers can also be downloaded in German, Spanish, French, Arabic, Turkish, Polish and Chinese at the bottom of the page.

Protocol

In order to offer IRL teaching consistently, we will have to adhere to the rules of the RIVM:

First and foremost: stay home and get tested if you have any symptoms like a head cold, coughing, tightness of breath, fever, sudden loss of smell or taste.
Self-quarantine and get tested if any of your housemates have symptoms as mentioned above.
Inform your course director and coordinator
In case you must quarantine you will be able to follow teaching online and catch up.
When at the academy, follow the rules of distance and hygiene (see HR guideline link below)

XPUB COVID Etiquette

Next to the official rules, we would like to take a community-based approach to the situation to ensure everyone feels safe, that we stay in dialogue with each other, and that we can make the most of the time we can be all together on location. These are not rules, it's an etiquette and we welcome the feedback of everyone to improve these.

We trust each other that we will do the necessary self-tests and follow the basic protocol already in place.
Staff and students wear masks all the time, per current regulations.
Simple ventilation can be quite important in a combined strategy for reducing transmission. We will open at least one window each hour for 10 minutes at the very least. Some staff and students may prefer to teach with the windows open all the time. Adjusting the radiators can help compensate for the cold air. Please wear warm clothes so we can ventilate sufficiently.
For one-on-one tutorials, be sure to notify your tutor/supervisor if you want to talk via video chat one day in advance of the tutorial, if possible. That way, if all students prefer video chat, a tutor/supervisor can decide to not travel to WdkA/PZI.
When having class, we setup a hotline jitsi + pad and use screen sharing de rigueur. This is useful:
- To make clear that a jitsi channel will always be available and to assure students/evt staff who elect to work at a distance (for whatever reason) that they won't miss out / aren't adding any extra work or stress to the group;
- To get used to working in this way if we do need either to quarantine or if we return to state of limited (staff) access to the building.

Updates

The frequency of updates is too high to maintain properly a section that summarizes/synthesizes the essential. It's also duplicate work. Refer to the links in this page to find what applies to HR/WdKA and the Netherlands in general. In doubt, and assuming you did RTFM already, don't hesitate to ping Aymeric and Leslie for questions!

+* We trust each other that we will do the necessary self-tests and follow the basic protocol already in place.
-Mandatory Face Masks
+* Staff and students wear masks all the time, per current regulations.
-*Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences has introduced a face mask requirement. It is compulsory to wear face masks in our public areas (public spaces such as the entre hall, in corridors, deWillem, hallways, stairwells, restrooms, library, etc. and, including the XPUB studio and the open area where alumni will return). This is to promote clarity and enforceability. To this end, the House Rules have been updated; the Central Representative Board.
+* Simple ventilation can be quite important in a combined strategy for reducing transmission. We will open at least one window each hour for 10 minutes at the very least. Some staff and students may prefer to teach with the windows open all the time. Adjusting the radiators can help compensate for the cold air. Please wear warm clothes so we can ventilate sufficiently.
+* For one-on-one tutorials, be sure to notify your tutor/supervisor if you want to talk via video chat one day in advance of the tutorial, if possible. That way, if all students prefer video chat, a tutor/supervisor can decide to not travel to WdkA/PZI.

+** To get used to working in this way if we do need either to quarantine or if we return to state of limited (staff) access to the building.
-*This does not apply to classrooms, where the existing safety measures are generally well observed. In the public areas, in addition to the face mask requirement, the rule to keep a distance of 1.5 metres, still applies, of course.

Refer to the links in this page to find what applies to HR/WdKA and the Netherlands in general. In doubt, and assuming you did RTFM already, don't hesitate to ping Aymeric and Leslie for questions!
-*Mayor supports our school policy
+== WdKA Support ==
-In doing so, the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences is following the approach of Ahmed Aboutaleb - not only mayor but also chairman of the Rotterdam-Rijnmond Safety Region - who is clear about the advice to wear face masks. He is pleased with the government's initiative with regard to face masks, but if it is up to him, it should not be restricted to shops and supermarkets, but should also be used in public spaces of buildings where it is effective. The Mayor therefore very much welcomes the school's decision: “In fact, wearing face masks should be the guideline for everyone in the region, for all places where many people gather”.
-*It is everyone's own responsibility to have a face mask.
+If you have personal problems, including financial issues, please get in touch with the student counselors through email or telephone directly:
-=== Official national and academy guidelines ===
-* HR: https://www.rotterdamuas.com/go/information-corona/
-* RIVM: https://www.rivm.nl/en/news/current-information-about-novel-coronavirus-covid-19
-=== Protocol ===
