Queer Gatherings in Hafnarfjörður (HHH) are based at Hvaleyrarskóli, but were originally at Víðistaðaskóli (in Hraun). The meet-up is intended for young people in years 5-10 who identify as queer, are on the autism spectrum, are interested in queer topics, and/or are interested in queer issues. The model is the Queer Youth Centre in Reykjavík, where meet-ups and group activities have been more successful than expected.
„HHH has a highly experienced team. When young people bring ideas to us, we do our very best to put them into practice in collaboration with them. The aim of the work is for them to feel safe, welcome and to have the opportunity to flourish. The work is largely based on peer education, and the young people are tasked, among other things, with raising awareness of LGBTQ+ youth issues and celebrating diversity here in Hafnarfjörður. We encourage all Hafnarfjörður residents who are interested in HHH to find out more about the work, to encourage those who want to promote it, and to attend our meetings. We welcome everyone,“ says Sigmar Ingi Sigurgeirsson.
