fjölskyldumorgnar // family mornings
Mar 18 @ 11:00 – 13:00

–English below–
Við erum hópur fjölskyldna sem komum saman í Andrými þar sem við skipuleggjum vikulega viðburði á sunnudögum. Komið og takið þátt í að skipuleggja þann heim sem við viljum skapa fyrir fjölskyldurnar okkar, og hjálpið okkur við að láta framtíðarsýn verða að veruleika.
Ykkur er velkomið að koma með mat fyrir fjölskyldu ykkar, og einnig til að deila með öðrum ef þið viljið. Vinsamlegast látið vita ef einhver fjölskyldumeðlimur er með fæðuóþol eða þarfnast aðstoðar, t.d. vegna fötlunar eða öryggis, og við reynum að sjá til þess að allir geti verið öruggir og notið sín.
Við viljum skapa umhverfi sem er skemmtilegt, en um leið berjumst við gegn félagslegri kúgun og umberum hvorki mismunun né ofbeldi. Ætlunin er að viðburðirnir séu aðgengilegir öllum, óháð einstaklingsgetu.
Við bjóðum sérstaklega velkomna þá einstaklinga sem finnst þeir vera jaðarsettir, kúgaðir eða ekki eiga heima í öðrum fjölskyldusamkundum. Sem hluti af Andrými félagshreyfingunni, leggjum við áherslu á samstöðu með þeim sem eru kúgaðir, stuðning við náttúruna, baráttu gegn ofbeldi – þar með talið efnahagslegt ofbeldi – og hvetjum til þátttöku í sameiginlegri ákvarðanatöku.

———————————–
We are a group of families who meet in Andrými where we organize weekly events on Sundays.
Please join us to relax, talk, create, plan, build, construct, deconstruct, and form the world we want for ourselves and our families. You are welcome to bring food for your family, and to share, if you would like. 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! There is space to relax and some tea and coffee.
We are cultivating an environment for fun and reflection where we fight oppression and do not allow discrimination and violence. 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 groups. As a part of the Andrými social cooperative, we adhere to the policies of solidarity with oppressed people, support of the natural world, fight against violence including economic violence, and encourage collective decision making.

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.

Skiptimarkaður – Toys And Children’s Clothes Swap
Mar 18 @ 11:00 – 16:00

(English below) Við vitum að börnin okkar hætta aldrei að stækka, en föt, leikföng og bækur vaxa ekki með þeim. Þess vegna erum við að skipuleggja þennan skiptimarkaður fyrir barnaföt og leikföng. Hugmyndin er sú að þú leggir til þá hluti sem börnin þín þurfa ekki lengur og þú getur í staðinn tekið með þér heim það sem þú og börnin þín getið nýtt ykkur.
Reglurnar eru einfaldar:
1. Átt þú bækur, skó, föt, leikföng eða eitthvað annað sem börnin þín þurfa ekki lengur? Vinsamlegast komdu með það/þessa hluti, helst flokkaða eftir stærð.
2. Fannst þú eitthvað sem þú vilt fyrir börnin þín? Þú ert velkomin að taka það heim!
3. Eigðu góðar stundir með góðum félagsskap!
Með því að mæta með föt eða leikföng til skiptanna tryggjum við að gömlu hlutirnir þínir komi til nýrra eigenda, annaðhvort hjá öðrum gestum eða Rauða Krossinum. Við athugum ekki eða teljum það sem þú tekur með, þér er frjálst að koma með eins mikið eða lítið og þú vilt.
Upplýsingar um aðgengi er að finna á www.andrymi.org

We know our children never stop growing but clothes, toys and books don’t grow with them. That’s why we organise this swap event for children’s clothes and toys. The idea is that you bring the stuff that your kids don’t need anymore and you can take home the things you and your children like and can make use of.
The rules are simple:
1. Do you have books, shoes, clothes, toys or anything else that your children don’t need anymore? Please, bring them, ideally organised by size.
2. Do you find something you like for your kids? Feel free to take it!
3. Spend some quality time with good friends and like-minded people, and above all have fun!
By attending this event you will make sure that your old items find new owners, either other swappers or the Red Cross. We don’t check or count what you bring, just take what you like.
You can find info about accessibility on www.andrymi.org

Kitchen Meeting
Mar 20 @ 17:00 – 18:00

Andrými’s kitchen needs volunteers, and the meeting is all about explaining what the kitchen consists of, and what tasks can anyone do to help it happening.
It will also be the time to set the next month timetable, so we can have in advance a set of people for the next tasks.
It is open to anyone who is simply curious, would like to help a bit, or a lot!
We meet up on Tuesday at 17.00 at Bergþórugata 20.
At the moment Andrými is not wheelchair accessible, but we are in a process of making it so. There is 7 stairs leading to the main entrance and the toilets are only on the upper floor and in the basement. It hopefully changes soon.

Workshop "Theatre of the Oppressed"
Mar 22 @ 17:00 – 20:30

A workshop on theater of the oppressed, image theater and forum theater. This workshops will include many games to awaken our senses and minds, get to know each other and make us more familiar with our bodies. After that, we will theatrically explore our personal oppressions, connecting them with the “bigger picture”, the social context and through that we sculpture our “hope”, the society as we would like it to be. We will experiment with our bodies and their abilities on expressing our ideas and try to bring into reality what cannot be said with plain words.
Forum Theatre is a technique and method of “Theatre of the Oppressed” by Augusto Boal. The method is an activist tool aiming at social intervention, used also as an educational tool. This kind of theater tries to break down the boundaries between actors and spectators. Nobody is just one or another, they are both at the same time, something Boal calls spectactor. There is no actor without a spectator, while the spectator is the one asked to come on stage and overturn the end of the story. The spectator is asked to be an actor (spectactor) and suggest a possible solution so that oppression comes to an end.
Christos Karystinos is an actor and facilitator of Theater of the Oppressed(ToO) since 2014, with great interest in Forum theater and its use in political activism. He has participated or facilitated forum plays around the world (Greece, India, UK etc) while exchanging practices with other ToO practitioners around the world. He strongly believes that ToO is one of the most liberating and inclusive tools to transform the (global and local) society and help us in transition.
A member of the group “Activist group of ToO (Greece)” https://theatreoftheoppressedgreeceen.wordpress.com/about-2/
Free participation
[I advise you to bring with you comfortable clothes and warm socks, snacks and water as the workshop is gonna be long.
