Welcome to our publishing party of the Anniversary Issue of Samtökin ’78, at Loft Hostel the 27th of June at 7 PM. Please note that this is an open event and everyone is welcome.
The Anniversary Issue covers a variety of topics: from the selfless contribution of our volunteers throughout the years, trans matters from the beginning of the century until now, what is remembered and what is forgotten from our fight for equal rights, the term ‘pink washing’, interviews with queer people and of course, queer culture and art.
The Anniversary Issue is free of charge. There will be food offered. The space is wheelchair accessible. Everyone is welcome!
Everyone is different. As the society members I believe that while we all share common values on life, culture, emmigration, purpose of employment, we have different perspective on its meaning, but yet we all have the same rights.
Taking a touch of personal approach moved by drastic situation in last days (regardless what truly happened in there, moved by the last drop of inequality on the labor market and comments under the articles about this and other cases, when employees rights are violated) , we attempt to layer the disapproval for not humanitarian housing conditions offered on Icelandic market, disapproval for illegal practices on a labor market, disapproval for unprofessional help from Unions and other representatives.
Unfortunately, driven by love to this country, love to our families here, love to travels, with appreciation for open boarders and open minds of others, appreciation for opportunities we -immigrants -are also often are forced to agree on certain situations in order to help our beloved ones to survive, as not all of us had safe and allowing to live conditions at places of our origin.
Taking this as advantage is not a thing, on which we can or should agree.
Please, join us and show support for equal workers rights at sunday at 12:00 in the symbolic place-corner of Vesturgata and Bræðraborgastígur.
WHAT WE DO?
A spontaneous meeting is a meeting that takes place in connection with a sudden and unpredictable event related to the public sphere, which would take place at another time would be pointless or insignificant from the point of view of public debate.
___________
PURPOSE:
disapproval for not humanitarian housing conditions offered on Icelandic market,
disapproval for illegal practices on a labor market,
disapproval for unprofessional help from Unions and other representatives
___________
YOUR RIGHTS:
you have right to manifest your support for the cause in respective way and peacefully, showing also respect for those, who doesn’t attend (cars, passerby’s)
we encourage you to share your stories regarding labor market exploitation in case if any media would be interested
___________
YOUR OBLIGATIONS:
you are obligated to respect the law and all safety measures taken by the authorities if needed (no dangerous materials, weapons, no flyers-trashes r not welcome, no physical or verbal aggression, no vandalism is welcome).
leave the location after manifestation will be over
providing safety of yours and minor under your supervision
___________
Your attendance is your personal choice and as so you are considered as a promoter of your own, one person manifestation, yet by joining the group you agree on terms stated above.
You are also notified that local Police was invited as well to join this peaceful manifestation regarding the labor market violations.
Creative Sundays – Intercultural Meetings for Kids
@ FRAKTAL Reykjavík
We would like to invite kids and their parents to intercultural creative meetings that will be held at FRAKTAL Reykjavik (Hringbraut 119).
At this meetings we will check the needs of the local community to decide the frequency of the workshop and activities that we can offer.
Our goal is to provide a safe and calm environment for kids to chill, play, make art, and use their native languages. The idea behind it is to offer cultural and social alternatives and create a group where kids and parents can broaden their network and feel supported as neighbours, parents and workers.
The event is organised as an initiative of mothers and experienced caretakers who work every day in kindergartens and schools.
Upcoming Sunday we will hold an art workshop for kids, while parents and organizers discuss the structure of future meetings and how to share responsibilities in caretaking.
Hope to see you there!
Age range: 5-12 Suggested entry: 1000 kr

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.

Taking a touch of personal approach moved by drastic situation in last days (regardless what truly happened in there, moved by the last drop of inequality on the labor market and comments under the articles about this and other cases, when employees rights are violated) , we attempt to layer the disapproval for not humanitarian housing conditions offered on Icelandic market, disapproval for illegal practices on a labor market, disapproval for unprofessional help from Unions and other representatives.
Unfortunately, driven by love to this country, love to our families here, love to travels, with appreciation for open boarders and open minds of others, appreciation for opportunities we -immigrants -are also often are forced to agree on certain situations in order to help our beloved ones to survive, as not all of us had safe and allowing to live conditions at places of our origin.
Taking this as advantage is not a thing, on which we can or should agree.
Please, join us and show support for equal workers rights at sunday at 12:00 in the symbolic place-corner of Vesturgata and Bræðraborgastígur.
WHAT WE DO?
A spontaneous meeting is a meeting that takes place in connection with a sudden and unpredictable event related to the public sphere, which would take place at another time would be pointless or insignificant from the point of view of public debate.

disapproval for illegal practices on a labor market,
disapproval for unprofessional help from Unions and other representatives
___________

Your attendance is your personal choice and as so you are considered as a promoter of your own, one person manifestation, yet by joining the group you agree on terms stated above.
You are also notified that local Police was invited as well to join this peaceful manifestation regarding the labor market violations.
We would like to invite kids and their parents to intercultural creative meetings that will be held at FRAKTAL Reykjavik (Hringbraut 119).
At this meetings we will check the needs of the local community to decide the frequency of the workshop and activities that we can offer.
Our goal is to provide a safe and calm environment for kids to chill, play, make art, and use their native languages. The idea behind it is to offer cultural and social alternatives and create a group where kids and parents can broaden their network and feel supported as neighbours, parents and workers.
The event is organised as an initiative of mothers and experienced caretakers who work every day in kindergartens and schools.
Upcoming Sunday we will hold an art workshop for kids, while parents and organizers discuss the structure of future meetings and how to share responsibilities in caretaking.

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 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.

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.
