Proceeds from the show will go toward counselling services for LGBTQ+ youth at Samtökin 78.
Laura Secord and Brött Brekka are two of the most exciting rock bands ever to come out of Reykjavik. They are a lot of fun to see live and their albums are really good, so you should definitely come to the show and support a good cause and then when you have all that fun, buy an album. Yes, indeed.
Samtökin ’78 is an NGO dedicated to the interest and rights of lesbian, homosexual, bisexual, asexual, pansexual, transgender and intersex people in Iceland. We think the counselling they do there is awesome and deserves our support.

Föstudaginn 17. janúar 2020 kl 19:00 verður fyrsta æfing annarinnar í femínískri sálfsvörn haldin í íþróttasal Háskóla Íslands.
Salurinn er aðgengilegur hjólastólum.
//NÁNARI UPPLÝSINGAR UM AÐGENGI KOMA INN 16. JANÚAR//
Allar konur velkomnar sem og allt trans fólk (skráning í H.Í. er ekki skilyrði).
Æfingarnar eru lokaðar sís-karlmönnum.*
(*Sís-karlmaður er karl sem var úthlutað kyninu “strákur” við fæðingu, upplifir sig sem slíkan og er sáttur við það.)
UM ÆFIGNARNAR:
Femíníska sjálfsvörnin sem verður æfð er í anda Seito Boei aðferðarinnar og felur í sér líkamlega, munnlega, sálræna og tilfinningalega sjálfsvörn.
Æfingahópurinn hittist á hverjum föstudegi.
Annan hvern föstudag hittist æfingarhópurinn í íþróttahúsinu og æfir líkamlega sjálfsvörn. Föstudagana þar á milli hittist hópurinn í öruggara rými á háskólasvæðinu og æfir munnlega, sálræna og tilfinningalega sjálfsvörn.
UM FEMÍNÍSKA SJÁLFSVÖRN:
Femínísk sjálfsvörn sker sig frá ‘venjulegum’ námskeiðum í sjálfsvörn að því leyti að hún fylgir ákveðnum femínískum gildum og markmið hennar mótast út frá þeim. Meðal markmiða femínískrar sjálfsvarnar er að:
– Hugsa gagnrýnt um og afbyggja félagsmótun kyns og stigveldi þess
-Efla samstöðu og styðja við þolendur/varnarfólk sem vilja byrja eða halda áfram með bataferli.
– Auka þekkingu á mismunandi birtingarmyndum ofbeldis, m.a. til að auðveldara sé að koma auga á það, tala um það og berjast gegn því.
-Þróa einstaklingsbundnar og hópatengdar aðferðir sem eru skilvirkar í að koma í veg fyrir ofbeldi.
Áhugasöm eru hvött til að koma með boxhanska og púða/padda á líkamlegu æfingarnar. En það er ekki skilyrði.

OPEN TRAININGS IN FEMINIST SELF-DEFENSE AT THE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS
Friday 17th of january 2020, the first training of feminist self-defense will be held at the university sports hall at 19:00.
The sports hall is accessible for wheelchairs.
//MORE EXACT INFO ON ACCESSIBILITY COMING THURSDAY 16th OF JANUARY//
All women and trans people are welcome (you don’t have to be a student at the University).
Cisgendered men are asked to keep out.*
(*A cis gendered man is someone who identifies as a man, and was assigned male at birth).
ABOUT THE TRAININGS:
The feminist self-defense method which will be followed is called Seito Boei. It includes physical, verbal, psychological and emotional self-defense.
The training group will be meeting every friday.
There will be physical trainings at the sportshall every second friday. The other fridays the group meets in a safer space to train verbal, psychological and emotional self-defense.
SOME GOALS OF THESE FEMINIST SELF-DEFENSE TRAININGS:
Provide each other with more options to choose from when using self-defense, by sharing a diverse range of strategies successfully used by people in real life situations.
Support victims/survivors/defenders to overcome isolation after assault and begin to heal
Expand our notions of what “successful self-defense” is and help each other appreciate all of the ways we keep ourselves safe.
Keep braking the stigma + myths around sexual and gender based assault/abuse so that we can talk about it, take action, and overcome it.
Those interested are encouraged to bring along pads and boxing gloves to the physical trainings. But it is not an obligation.

Ásdís manages several projects at the Directorate aimed specifically at entrepreneurs.
Grants for Women Entrepreneurs – The grants are start up grants for individuals or companies owned by women and are awarded once a year. They can be used for marketing, product development or making business plans. Entrepreneurs are offered to participate in Mentoring circles where they can work on their goals and aspirations, planning to make their businesses go forward.
She is the project manager for Frumkvæði an initiative for unemployed people who want to work on their business plans. While on benefits, they receive training to develop their businesses and have access to assistance and business coaches.
International projects
In the last 6 years Ásdís has written several project bids and managed two European projects in the Erasmus+ funding program, both aimed at women entrepreneurs focusing on hard and soft skills, mentoring circles and networking. She has a good experience in managing projects at an international level, bringing together partners from various countries.
Female project was a 3 year project, funded by Erasmus+ funding program aimed at women entrepreneurs. GO4IT workshops were implemented, with special focus on Marketing, Finance, Social Media and Product Development. Participants also participated in Mentoring circles where they shared knowledge and focused on specific challenges in their business. www.femaleproject.eu

The project focused on implementing online training in various business subjects and soft skills training. Participants were also offered to participate in online Mentoring Circles where they shared knowledge and focused on their business challenges. Networks were set up in rural areas, who were led by trained volunteers.
