The first of four workshops on democratic participation for residents of foreign origin will be held at the Innovation Center next Saturday.
More than ten people have already registered for the first workshop on democratic participation for residents of foreign origin. Even more are expected, as interest is high.
The workshop will be held next Saturday, 7 February, from 10:00 to 17:00 at the Innovation Center by the Lækur. The workshop will cover individual rights, the role of municipal governments, municipal elections, and the ways each person can take part in democracy in Iceland. The workshop is free of charge.
We want to strengthen the democratic participation of immigrants in Hafnarfjörður. This is a large group that can have influence if they know their rights and understand how society works, says Hildur Ýr Jónsdóttir, project manager for multicultural affairs at Hafnarfjörður municipality. Magnea Marinósdóttir, political scientist, will lead the workshop.
Next Saturday is the first day. But we teach four times, says Hildur, encouraging Hafnarfjörður residents to give a nudge to neighbours of foreign origin and let them know. Communities work best when we all take part.
It is recommended to register here. Everyone is welcome.
Workshops:
The project is free for participants and is funded by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Housing in cooperation with the Municipality of Hafnarfjörður.
