The presentation will be about the Quartier libre des Lentilleres (Lentillere’s free borough).
It is a patch of 6ha of squatted farmland in the middle of the city of Dijon in France.
Started in 2010 more than 150 persons are living there today, cultivating the land, building communities and solidarities, organising events, workshops, sharing skills, building solidarity with migrants and refugies and preparing the resistance against the urbanistic project planned on this area.
I will present briefly some of the varied projects, groups and activities that compose the mosaic of the borough.
Then I’ll go through the chronology that led to its occupation and developpement.
And I’ll end with some perspective on the current threat it’s facing and the resistance organising.
Accessibility:The building is currently not wheelchair accessible.
There is a step before the garden gate and then 5 steps leading to the main entrance, each 17 cm high, door widths in the building vary between 50 cm (upstairs washroom door) and 80 cm (entrance door), and the washrooms are so far only on the upper floor and in the basement. The door to the meeting room is 75 cm wide (as most other doors in the building).Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral.

Alex Cornelissen, CEO of Sea Shepherd Global and Lamya Essemlali, chairperson of Sea Shepherd France and Campaign Coordinator for Sea Shepherd Global are coming to Iceland to help us building the Icelandic chapter.

Please bring some delicious vegan food and drinks for a coffee break and please avoid as much as possible plastic.
Monthly workshop session led by members of Kvæðamannafélið Iðunn, the organisation set up to preserve and pass on the singing traditons of Iceland (see http://rimur.is/?page_id=367). The aim of the sessions is to learn, practise and share traditional Icelandic folk songs, for example tvísöngur. We will also welcome people from other singing traditions to share their songs. The sessions are open to all. No previous singing experience is necessary. Songs will be taught ‘by ear’, with some notation available for people who find it helpful.
We will make every effort to accommodate everyone who comes. In particular, we are aware that some people are nervous about singing in ‘public’ situations. We will make every effort to make the sessions welcoming and supportive of everyone attending.
The event is hosted by Vegan Cooking in Iceland group.
Potluck vegan sushi dinner. Bring what you can to make sushi and we’ll assemble it and enjoy the meal together.
If someone in your family has special needs (accessibility, safety, allergies, etc.) we will try to make the space and activities safe and enjoyable for everybody!
The space where we meet, and the activities we organize, are intended to be accessible to people of all different abilities, and we welcome people who may have felt marginalized or excluded from other family oriented events.

Pálínuboð til að fagna alþjóðlega vegan dagsins!
klukkan 19:00
1. nóvember ár hvert heldur vegan fólk daginn hátíðlegann um allan heim og við ætlum að sjálfsögðu að fagna með dýrindis vegan mat ♥
Pálínuboð virka þannig að þú kemur með vegan rétt og leggur á hlaðborð, svo fá sér allir smá af því sem þeir vilja. Ef þú ert ekki með eldhústaktana á hreinu þá hafa sumir gripið til þess ráðs að kaupa tilbúinn mat, koma með vegan nammi í skál eða drykki, allir geta tekið þátt.
Vinsamlegast athugið að þessi viðburður er dýrafurðarlaust og öruggt rými fyrir vegan fólk og því mikilvægt að að fólk sem kemur á viðburðinn sé ekki í klæðnaði úr dýraafurðum eða sé með dýraafurðir í matarformi í húsinu rétt á meðan.
Aðgengi:
Andrými er á Bergþórugötu 20.
(Gengið inn vitastígs megin)
Húsið er því miður ekki aðgengilegt fyrir hjólastóla í augnablikinu en það er mikið forgangsatriði hjá okkur að gera fyrstu hæð hússins aðgengilega sem fyrst. Við erum enn að bíða eftir samningi frá borginni sem myndi gera okkur kleift að gera breytingar á byggingunni. Teikningar af húsinu eru komnar til arkítekts sem er að vinna í teikningu af rampi og aðgengilegu klósetti svo við getum sent þær til Minjastofnunar í umsagnarskyldu og svo til borgarinnar.
Það er eitt þrep við hliðið að garðinum og svo fimm þrep sem leiða upp að aðalinngangi. Hvert þrep er 17sm hátt. Breidd dyra í húsinu er á milli 50sm (dyr að baðherberginu á efri hæð) og 80sm (aðaldyrnar). Dyrnar að fundarherberginu eru 75sm á breidd eins og flestar aðrar dyr í húsinu.
Baðherbergin eru einungis á efri hæð og í kjallara eins og er.
Bæði baðherbergin eru kynlaus.
