We, the participants, volunteers, organizers, professors, media, sponsors, and other individuals involved with the Brazilian ICPC Summer School 2024, come together for the open exchange of ideas, the freedom of thought and expression, and for developing our skills, which is central to the goals of this School. This requires a community and an environment that recognizes and respects the inherent worth of every person.

Organizers will enforce this Code, and all Participants are expected to cooperate to help ensure a safe and inclusive environment for everyone.
