Principles

Anime in the Park (AITP) is a reminder of how we should always live. It’s a practice session on how to be better humans. We aim to act as a catalyst for good habits, in a natural way, while having fun.

Core Principles

The core framework of AITP is based on:

  • Leave No Trace
  • Self-Reliance
  • Teamwork

These three elements work together to ensure the parks stay clean, people stay hydrated and aware, and everyone gets along to create a beautiful experience.

Leave No Trace

Keep the park in pristine condition. Treat the earth with respect. Pick up trash, even if it’s not yours. We’re building a city for the day, but when we leave, there should be no sign of our presence.

Self-Reliance

Bring the best version of you. Come prepared. Be confident.

Teamwork

We’re here to pick you up if you stumble. This is a group effort. These events are only possible if we build them together.

NetsuCon

Anime in the Park is the outdoor extension of NetsuCon.

The AITP Principles rest on top of the original NetsuCon Principles, which are:

  • Enthusiasm
  • Camaraderie
  • Self-Awareness
  • Creativity
  • Inclusion
  • Civility
  • Self-Expression
  • Representation
  • Respect
  • Spontaneity
  • Transparency
  • Health & Hygiene

In total, our events are based on the original 12 NetsuCon Principles, and the additional 3 that are specific to Anime in the Park.

If you understand the principles, the rules will be easy to follow.
