Sumarsamvera // Summer gatherings @ Hjálpræðisherinn í Reykjavík
Aug 21 @ 11:00 – 15:00

***ENGLISH BELOW***

Pepp Ísland og Sumarborgin 2020 bjóða upp á Sumarsamveru í Mjóddinni og hefst verkefnið mánudaginn 29. júní 2020 og stendur yfir til 21. ágúst eða í samtals 8 vikur.

Verkefnið snýst um að rjúfa félagslega einangrun í kjölfar Covid en félagsleg einangrun hefur komið ansi illa við marga jaðarhópa s.s. fólk sem ekki stendur vel félagslega eða fjárhagslega.

Sumarsamvera er styrkt af Reykjavíkurborg en sjálfboðaliðar á vegum Pepp halda utan um það og gera hugmyndina að veruleika.

Sumarsamvera er haldin í húsnæði Hjálpræðishersins í Mjódd, að Álfabakka 12 og verður opið þar alla virka daga á milli kl 11:00 og 15:00 og verður kaffihúsastemning á staðnum en boðið er upp á kaffi og meðlæti, fólki að kostnaðarlausu, til að tryggja að enginn þurfi að neita sér um að kíkja í kaffi og hitta annað fólk.

Markmiðið er að fólk geti droppað við, fengið sér kaffi og spjallað, prjónað eða föndrað á staðnum allt eftir behag eða farið í göngutúr saman en leit stendur yfir að einhverjum sem gæti tekið að sér að skipuleggja stuttar göngur.
Við fögnum þeim sem vilja taka þátt og gerast sjálfboðaliðar og aðstoða okkur við þetta frábæra verkefni.

Um okkur.
Pepp er grasrótarstarf innan stærri samtaka, EAPN á Íslandi, sem berjast gegn fátækt á Evrópugrundvelli, bæði innan Evrópu og í hverju aðildarlandi fyrir sig.

Pepparar eru hópur fólks sem þekkir fátækt og félagslega einangrun á eigin skinni og vinnur að því að efla samstöðu á jákvæðan og lausnarmiðaðan hátt, byggja upp gott félagsstarf og vera talsmenn þessa hóps út í samfélagið hvar og hvenær sem þess þarf.
Takmark Peppara er valdefling einstaklinga úr fátækt með þátttöku, virkni, jákvæðni og samvinnu ásamt því að starfa náið með félagasamtökum, sveitarfélögum, stjórnvöldum og fjölmiðlum að breytingum í samfélaginu til að auka þátttöku okkar og til að hafa bein áhrif á þær ákvarðanir samfélags og yfirvalda sem að okkur snúa.

PeP Iceland (Pepp Ísland) and Sumarborgin 2020 (The Summer City 2020) invite you to join us in our project Sumarsamvera (Summer gathering) in Mjódd, starting on Monday the 29th of June, which will carry on for the duration of 8 weeks.

The aim of the project is to break social isolation in the wake of Covid 19, but many marginalized groups have been heavily affected, especially those who are socially and financially vulnerable.

The Summer gathering is funded by the City of Reykjavík, but run by volunteers from PeP Iceland, who will be organizing and hosting the project.

The summer gathering will be held at the location of the Salvation Army in Mjódd, Álfabakki 12, and will be open every weekday from 11:00 till 15:00. The atmosphere will be that of a cafe, where people can come for coffee and snacks without having to pay. The aim is to ensure that despite having little money, people can still go for coffee and be in the company of other people.

The aim is to allow people to drop by, have coffee, talk, knit or do some kind of craft or other activities offered on location, or to go for walks or hikes together, if anyone would be interested in organizing and hosting such activities. We welcome anyone willing to volunteer or assist us with this project.

About us:
PeP Iceland (Pepp Ísland) is a grassroot organization inside a bigger network, the EAPN, who fight poverty and social exclusion, both at the European level, as well as locally in each member country.

PePs (Pepparar) are people who have personally experienced poverty and social exclusion and work to increase solidarity between people experiencing poverty. The aim is to create a positive and solution-based environment to empower those experiencing poverty and social exclusion to be their own spokespeople wherever and whenever necessary.

We want to form alliances with other organizations, municipalities, institutions, government and the media to increase our involvement in our communities and general society. We also want direct involvement in decision making regarding the issues that affect us and be consulted and involved when those issues are being discussed and decided on.
