10h – 12h Process 1 *

15.30- 17.30 h Contents 3 how to build processes of democratic confederalism

how we build it in one region where still nothing like that exist?

This would include to think together about a process where we are building a new system/meaning a new arquitecture of agreements/laws in a territory ruled by a nation/state, (include Route of power)

We have to include the use of strategical desobedience, the hack of legal systems to protect our process, etc.

Dual power theories should be included in this discusion,

The politics of libertarian municipalism

Building community where community no longer exists – everything in democratic confederalism extends from the basic layer. Community ties -> Political community -> Assemblies -> Taking local power -> Confederation -> Dual power.

The role of the revolutionary organisation – democratic confederalism fails without it. Which would be the adaptation of this kind of organization in western countries?

Revolutionary practice – thinking about how our means must be the same as our ends.

Avoiding co-optation by the State

The importance of political education How to acheive popular political education? Without it, the movement will fail, as we have been taught by examples in the US.

18 – 21 workshops 2 **

* Process meetings will be run as it was a long assembly distributed in different periods of 2 hours. We are adding topics to the general discusion and will control the times during the meetings. Introduction: The short process until this preliminary meeting what this space is aiming to become, how should be organized, ( delegation and decision taking methods ), who should be part of it, (can we all agree in the same vision?), how do we collaborate with other existing, initiatives/processes which share similiar visions?- whilst avoiding cooptation. goals and roadmap in one year. a main event for june/july 2020 ?

– The World Social Forum of Transformative Economies will be happening at the end of June of 2020 so we need to think strategically on whether and how we want to collaborate with them and take this into account when setting the date of the bigger meeting (would be happy to facilitate this discussion).

– perhaps our main event in 2020 could be distributed by continents, making possible to reduce travel impact a and expand the participation to much more people, more bottom up, in coherence with democratic confederalism

** Workshops meetings

A workshop is a small group meeting which could have different reasons:-

– to explain a specific knowledge or experience

– to discuss and develop a proposal to be presented later in plenary

– to discuss a topic with much more detail than in plenary.

– to train in specific habilities.

– …..

A workshop needs one person or collective responsible of it.

New to Andrými? Intro Meeting!
Oct 6 @ 12:00 – 13:00

// English below //
Hefur þú heyrt um Andrými? Þessi kynning er fyrir forvitna, áhugasama og þá sem vilja taka þátt! Í hverjum mánuði er allsherjarfundur í Andrými þar sem við ræðum mikilvæg málefni og deilum því sem við erum að vinna í. Fyrir þá sem þekkja ekki rýmið getur fundurinn verið svolítið ruglingslegur. Þess vegna hvetjum við ykkur til þess að koma deginum áður og fræðast um Andrými; hver við erum, hvernig við vinnum og hvernig hægt er að taka virkan þátt. Svo er ykkur auðvitað velkomið að koma á allsherjarfundinn næsta dag.
Andrými er sjálfsskipulagt rými sem þýðir að það getur einungis starfað ef fólk kemur hlutum í verk með því að bjóða fram kunnáttu sína og nýtir áhugasvið sín. Komið þess vegna og skoðið, lærið um Andrými og komist að því hvernig þið viljið taka þátt.

Have you heard about Andrými? Are you curious, interested, or want to get more involved? This meeting is for YOU.
Each month, Andrými hosts an assembly where we discuss what we’re working on and some important topics. If you’re new to Andrými, it may be pretty confusing. So we encourage you to come one day earlier to learn about Andrými – who we are, how we work, and how you can get involved. Then feel free to join the assembly the next day.
Andrými is a self-organized space, meaning that it only works if people contribute their interests and skills to make things happen. So come see the space, learn about Andrými, and find a way to get involved.

 

Aðgengi:
Andrými er flutt í nýtt húsnæði á Bergþórugötu 20. 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.
//
Accessibility:
The building is currently not wheelchair accessible, unfortunately, but it is our top priority to make it so. An architect is already working on drawing a ramp and making an accessible bathroom in the space.
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
