Today at Tengivirkið we will receive a presentation from Andrými - A Radical Social Center in Reykjavík and New in Iceland
,,Andrými is a radical social center and a community where values of equality and freedom are fought for. It’s purpose is to be an open space for grassroot groups and individuals to meet and organise,,. Elínborg Harpa Önundardóttir, always called Elí, will tell us about Andrými.
At New in Iceland Immigrants can get assistance to feel safe, to be well-informed and supported while living in Iceland.
