TechWalk Community Guidelines

Our Values

We believe in building a tech community that is:
 

Inclusive

Everyone is welcome regardless of background, identity, ability, or experience level. TechWalk exists to bring people together, not divide them.
 

Respectful

We treat one another with kindness, dignity, and curiosity. Whether you're walking, talking, or sharing a story, we value respectful engagement.
 

Supportive

TechWalk is about walking with people, not in front of them. We lift each other up, share knowledge freely, and aim to make meaningful connections.
